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.

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

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.
