Tracing Your Maternal Ancestry

Welcome to everyone interested in the mtDNA Haplogroup U. If your mitochondrial DNA tests said you are in Haplogroup U, you're part of "Clan Ursula," to use Brian Sykes' terminology. Please join this discussion by sharing your mtDNA results -- and where and how far back you've traced your maternal ancestry. Just mother's mother's mother and so on. It will be interesting to compare and learn.

I was able to go back to about 1825 with my 3rd great grandmother, I am estimating her birth year.
On her marriage certificate it states that she was adopted, she was born in Arenales Altos, Isabela Puerto Rico.; ▶ Reply to This

Haplogroup - U*
HVR1 differences from CRS
16189C, 16325C

Maternal lineage:

Minerva Dilba [b. 1842, MO]
Elizabeth Callaway [b. 1873, MO; d. 1957, OK]
Alta Elgerine Fleming [b. 1900, IT/OK; d. 1985, OK]
Living Mann
ME

Minerva is my 3xGreat Grandmother. I know very little about her and the DILBA surname is extremely elusive. I have no clue as to the origins of the surname or if it is, in fact, her actual surname. I would welcome any help or advice on this subject as well as tips or hints in making the most of my mtDNA test results.; ▶ Reply to This
