Salve
I have an Azorean H1ao1 mtDNA lineage from Ilha Terceira, Ribeirinha and Porto Judeu. My HVR1 motif is 16262T,16278T,16519C
I am lucky because I have an extremely rare HVR1 motif. My only FTDNA match is a family in California, USA, an immigrant from the same Parish (Paróquia) from Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal, that my mtDNA line came to Rio de Janeiro in 1857. (Mito/ Y Search; 2CUZQ)
There are also two matches from Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, both from Brazil:
One from Porto Belo, Santa Catarina, a region with a strong Azorean colonization. Melania T. DA CRUZ b. 1902 Porto Belo, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Another one from Rio de Janeiro, unfortunately no name or contact was given
I found the same two HVR1 mutations listed in 2 cases (unknown names, not mentioned) from Terceira Island as Haplogroup H 16262 16278 in the following scientific article: Mitochondrial DNA patterns in the Macaronesia islands: Variation within and among archipelagos. Santos et al 2010.
H1ao1 - 3630 years estimate - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3322232/bin/mmc1.pdf
FTDNA – H1ao1 FMS matches - HVR1, HVR2, AND CODING REGION MATCHES
Genetic Distance 2 - Germany
Genetic Distance 3 - Ireland and Spain (Valladolid)
I suppose my H1ao1 mtDNA originated in Iberia (Catholic, Old Christian from the Reconquista) and went to the Azores with the first Povoadores where the 16262T mutation occurred, so that’s an exclusive Azorean motif related to the Atlantic expansion of the Portuguese Empire in Ilha Terceira and in Brazil.
