Native American mtDNA Haplogroups A2, B2, C1, D1, and X

I've always found it interesting that I tested as C1b and my birth mother's family is Sault Ste Marie Chippewa from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan as well as Garden River, ON, Canada directly northeast. Yet all the FT match notices that I receive are matches from Puerto Rico, Central, and South America. Of course I know through FT or National Geographic one has to pay to be tested and in today's economy that may limit many people from being tested and joining in the search.

So it seems from what I have read and understand that the majority of C1b are from South America according to the pie 15.7 from the research paper:
The initial peopling of the Americas: A growing number of founding mitochondrial genomes from Beringia.

That would explain me having the Diego Blood Group: Di(a+b+), most likely pass down to me from my father whose maternal line is C1b2a.
It is found in 36% of South American Indians.

Here's a URL link to an article that discusses the Indigenous haplo groups. They are still insistent upon the Bering Strait theory though.

My mother is in mtDNA haplogroup C1b2a , and my fathers maternal mtDNA haplogroup is C1b.

Just had myself tested and found out what my grandparents told me that we have native and african blood Halo Group N from west africa with subgroup X2 from west indies my grandfather says his grandfather mom was Taino and Mulatto which is half breed african and native that one of the ancestors was brought on a slave ship while the other was Taino native and the father was from the Canarias. All this before DNA testing.

I was very excited when I stumbled upon this group. I did my first DNA test with the National Geographic Genome Project. I'm Haplogroup C. I did the HVR2 testing with FTDNA. From that I think I'm C1 and maybe C1b. I'm adopted and when I opened my records I found out my grandmother is listed on the 1908 Durrant Role for Sault St. Marie, MI Chippewa and Pottawatomie.

Absolutely Ruth! You are the group's third member. Welcome!

Hi Blaine,
Are you still accepting members in your group?

Comment by Ugo A. Perego on July 14, 2009 at 1:19pm

Blaine, great group. I almost started it myself! :) Perhaps to avoid any confusion it should have been named with the actual haplogroup designation for the Native American lineages (A2, B2, C1, and D1). As a note to everyone that might join this group, there are currently 12 established and confirmed Native American mtDNA lineages: 7 pan-American (A2, B2, C1b, C1c, C1d, D1, and D4h3a) and 5 rarer and geographically limited (C4c, D2, D3, X2a and X2g). I doubt anyone testing commercially for their own mtDNA will belong to any of the rare ones (with the exception of X2a), but you never know.
