Hi:

 

I'm Kristine and through FTDNA I found out my maternal haplogroup is U1b. Its been fun to connect with some people that share my same haplogroup. Are there any others that share my haplogroup?

Hello - thru FTDNA testing, my mother's haplogroup is U4. 

Susie Jane McGinnis - grandmother 1892 Stone Co., Arkansas

Alice Lancaster - 1870 Stone Co., Arkansas

Laura N. Pritchard - Wayne, Co., TN

Mary Elvia Risner/Risener - 1815 TN

Rachel Unknown - abt 1780 South Carolina married to Thomas Risner/Risener

I have been unable to trace back any further without Rachel's surname

Hi, April!  I'm still learning, but I'm U5b and have been told I may be U5b3.  I'm Northern European.  Have been told my ancestors could have possibly originated in the Orkney Islands.

Hello, just joined the group. A year or so ago, Nat Geo analyzed my DNA from a kit the network provided in a promo for TV writers. Spoke to him, he said it was an old rare strain of Haplogroup U Sublcade U then a bunch of other things. Wondering what it all means, if anyone has any insight?

Cheers

April

Hello Brownie,
Nice to hear from you, and fun to have a U5b match! Actually that does tell us some things about our ancient ancestors. I like this webpage in particular:
http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25201

You can see that U5b has been found in in a site that is 4,600 years old in Saxony; in Ancient German DNA; and in Medieval Anglo-Saxons [whose ancestors likely came to England from northern German].

I know from my own traditional genealogy research that my maternal line -- mother's mother's mother's mother etc. -- comes from northern Germany, an area just north of the Elbe River where it nears the North Sea. So for me there's a really good link of genealogy, geography and genetics.

If you follow your maternal line [female side only], where does your earliest known female ancestor come from? Hope this is of interest! Barbara

Barbara, you're the only other one I've found with a U5b haplogroup. What have you found out so far?

Comment by Barbara Bradley Petura on November 7, 2010 at 1:02pm

Thanks to everyone who has posted their mtDNA results [mitochondrial DNA test results] that helps them trace their maternal lineage [mother's mother's mother's mother etc.] I hope you can help each other with resources and also spread the word about this GenealogyWise group. Does anyone have mtDNA results that are a good match for the geographical origin of their maternal line?

Hi, I'm U5b via 23&Me. It's all interesting. But at this point I tend to treat that information kind of like I've treated my blood type info AB +...."So?" I keep thinking blood types should be significant for a variety of reasons...why not Haplo groups, also? So far I've not gathered much information on either. :-)

Hi,

I just got my results from 23andMe and I belong to U1b.

I haven't been able to find out much, at all, about my group or anyone in it.

I'd appreciate any information you could share with this newbie.

I forgot one interesting note: my Grandmother (Living Mann) always made a point to share when we were discussing family history that her mother claimed she had "Black Dutch" blood/heritage. Google "Black Dutch" for all its various definitions. Could Dilba a Dutch name?
