Comment by Robert Sliwinski on November 17, 2009 at 11:53am: Hello Katie,

H by itself mainly means European and since up to 40% of Europeans are in this very successful haplogroup and I really can't go much farther without more information.

So let's surmise a couple of things. First off if you have tested HVR1 (low level test) that will provide the haplogroup H. Testing HVR1 and 2 will yield the same results but could be refined to at least a subclade of H. But the Full Genetic Sequence test (Mega) will provide the subclade information that you need (if you want to know). I was an H for the longest time and with the FGS I have been refined to H2a2a, (since the subclade info is located in the coding region of the mtDNA). So if you had on the lowest level test, upgrade to the mid level test and you will get fewer matches and potentially closer genetic relatives on your match list. To go the extra mile and pay the extra cash you can have the FGS, but if your genealogical paperwork is sufficient to clarify a match then you may not need to test to the limit and a mid level test may suffice.

Comment by Katie Heitert Wilkinson on October 21, 2009 at 9:48pm: I'm just a plain old H and not really certain what I can do with this information. I can trace my maternal ancestral line so far only to the mid 1800s. My grandmothe's maiden name was Browne. She was born in Caherduff, Cong, County Mayo, Ireland. Her mother was Mary Nally, born in Muckrussaune, Baallinrobe, Ireland. Her mother was either a Pemrick or a Feerick (I have no definitive proof yet), born in an as-yet unknown townland in the Cong/Ballinrobe area in Mayo. Is there anyone who can assit me in understanding the finer points of all this?

Comment by Peiternella Suzzanna Hymen on October 21, 2009 at 9:42pm: Thanks Daryl. Have you been reading up on the H group and H3? I have found the article on Wikipedia and (can not find the paper at the moment) an academic paper concerning H3 and aids, quote "Studies have suggested haplogroup H3 is highly protective against AIDS progression". I would like to get the Autosomal CCR 5 test done at FTDNA ...I am interested to see if I am immune. I come from the Netherlands but grew up in New Zealand. I can trace my family tree back to the early 1500...so we have been in one place for a long time.

Comment by Daryl Polley on October 21, 2009 at 5:30pm: Sorry. I am H3 but I don't have the mutation 12811C.

Comment by Peiternella Suzzanna Hymen on October 21, 2009 at 2:21am: I am also a H3. I was a bit hard to define so had to do the full FGS thing, apparently us H group are a bit like that. My partner and I have a comprehensive data base concerning H3. My partner is very skilled in reading all the data ( has a science degree) and has defined that there are sub-clades of this group that have not yet been recognized.I have the mutation 12811C any other h3s with this. Cheers

Comment by Daryl Polley on September 18, 2009 at 9:08pm: I am also a "H3" I did the complete mtDNA test and now I am wondering what the heck it all tells me.

Comment by Alexander Retzlaff on September 17, 2009 at 10:48am: I am a "H3" , also tested HVR-1 and HVR-2 .

Comment by Debbie Kennett on July 30, 2009 at 5:12am: My husband's mtDNA results have just come through from Family Tree DNA and he is a haplogroup H (so far only HVR1 tested). Rather aptly his maternal line is from Cambridgeshire, the home of the Cambridge Reference Sequence! His maternal line surnames include BERRYMAN, KEMP and CHAPMAN. The KEMPS and CHAPMANS are both from the small village of Thriplow in Cambridgeshire. The line goes back to Harriet Chapman, daughter of George and Sarah Chapman. She was baptised on 28th September 1794 in Thriplow. Are there any other Hs from Cambridgeshire?

Comment by Michael Wilson on July 15, 2009 at 1:03am: I am H1* Maternal Ancestry Devon UK in 1830 era, before that unknown.

Comment by Dorrliss E. Hale Ware on July 15, 2009 at 12:14am: I am an "H" , also tested at HVR-1 and HVR-2 . My brother is going to do a Y-DNA for me. Hope to learn more about this.
