Hi All My father's maternal line was tested for Mtdna and the results came back with haplogroup L2 which is early African in origins. I have only been able to trace the line to 1711 so far. I suspect it is mostly Moorish but only research will tell. I need to work some more on that line.

It is diversity that has been our strength and that has enabled us to survive. This is true of all living things.
