Credits:  These data was extracted from the very good book "The Journey of Man a genetic odyssey" by Spencer Wells, Princeton University Press, First Edition. 

It held my interest, I read it in two days.  This book does not go into detail of how to interpret or date individual Y-chromosome or mtDNA.   This book does not often address woman's mtDNA because although mtDNA leads us farther back in time it does not contain sufficient detail to lend itself to population tracing as does a man's Y-chromosome. 

My Mothers mtDNA values place Her in Haplogroup J2.  Even though the base of J2 is in western Russia, I have two matches - one marked Ireland and one marked unknown.

HVR1 differences from CSR:  16069T, 16193T, 16278T, 16362C

HVR2 differences from CRS:  00073G, 00150T, 00152C, 00263G, 00295T, 00315.1C, 00489C

 


I have decided not to put my actual data on my web - As soon as I understand this stuff I will write-up a report.
