Hi Doug,
I think the value of mtDNA is sometimes underestimated and it doesn't
receive the attention that it should from the scientists, however I didn't
find my results particularly useful until I upgraded to FMS.

Hi António.
May I ask what kind of useful results in upgrading to FMS (?). I did Family
Finder.

Hi Antonio,For me, the value in mt-DNA is coming from the major haplogroups that are possible to find.In my father's case with an Azorean maternal line, we have Haplogroup H and it says more about the Mutations:A16129G, T16187C, C16189T, T16223C, G16230A, T16278C, T16298C, C16311T, C16320TWe
Eliseu,
You can think of DNA as going to the market to buy produce. You need
passion fruit to make maracuja, bananas to make banana bread, and oranges
to make orange juice (that's my attempt to make this example Azorean)!
Most people don't make banana juice. Each fruit has a certain purpose.
Hi Eliseu,
By upgrading I was able to determine my subclade and my matches at the FMS
level are more meaningful, by narrowing the time frame of a common
ancestor. It gave me a clearer picture of the possible ancestry of my
maternal ancestor that settled in the Azores most likely in the early
As always! Thank you :)!

Hi Doug,
I am also still learning but for example A16129G I believe represents that
at position 16129 on your DNA sequence instead of having an A you have a G
one of the four building blocks to DNA. The letters A,C,T,G represent the
four building blocks of DNA. Your result deviates from the

Yes, that is how mtDNA works.

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.

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
Yes, Ricardo, you were our first mtDNA match in the project. Lucky for
you, you had that rare mutation on HVR1.
Tish, the full mtDNA sequence used to be $600 or so when it first came
out. Now it's $200 (this is all US Dollars).

Cheri, I agree $200 is not a bad price, but I think for many, it's over the
top for what it provides. I still think Family Finder will give people the
most hits for their money at this point.

Hi Everyone,
I found this to be interesting and thought I would share it.

Hi Antonio,Nice find.This is also why I think it's almost just as important to do mt-DNA testing as Y-DNA testing.In fact, I have come to think the most important testing is Y-DNA, then Family Finder, then mt-DNA and the only reason Family Finder is second is that it gives you the MyOrigins look
