Ugo, I talked to you on the phone about a month ago. I had my DNA testing done when Scott Woodward was putting his database together. According to the information that I recieved I am from N, sub X2a.
I really would like to know more about the migration pattern. I have read alot of information and I find that they have found X2 in Orkney Islands. One of my ancestors came from Ophir, Orkney and joined in with the Hudson Bay Company, and came over to Canada and married a Native American by the name os Elizabeth Saulteaux in 1821, supposedly at Beaver Creek. Thanks for your time and information.. I will look more into the articles you listed..Michelle

Hi Michelle. Sorry for the long time in replying. I don't check GenealogyWise as often as I should. I am sure there are several websites discussing mtDNA haplogroup X2. I would recommend the following science articles: Reidla et al. AJHG 2003; Perego et al. Current Biology 2009. If you can access a university library you should be able to get a copy of these articles. They might also be available online.
