at that level. It would be to the left of your match names (blocked for

Hi Sandra,
With mtDNA, you want to look at your Full Sequence matches. And that is
what you are looking at.
Yes, you have genetic distances or differences of 0, 1, or 3. A "0" is a

It may not be that J1c is rare but by the time you branch of further to
J1c1b1 it is less common. Not everyone in a haplogroup will genetically
match each other. The Full Mitochondrial Sequence test will increase your
chances for a genealogy match to about 50%, but that's once enough J1c

I tested my mtDNA and I am the only H7 out in the Atlantic Ocean. I
traced my mother back to the 1600's. Obviously many more must take the
test (big on the many) before matches will show conclusive results. Maybe
when the testing becomes a less expensive, more will take the test.
