A friend and I happened by chance to find we are in the same MT haplogroup -- N9a3, and have a genetic distance of 1, according to FTDNA. His polymorphisms are identical to mine (we both have T16187C, C16189T, G16230A, C16257a, C16261T, T16278C, C16311T and C16519T in HVR1; and C150T, C152T, C195T, A247G, 315,1C, 522.1A ad 522.1C in HVR2, plus C7810T outside of the HVR regions), I have two additional: 309,1C and T9047Y, -- all based on the RSRS. My review of the literature suggests that 309.1C is somewhat common within N9a3, but that T9047Y is not.
Any possibility of figuring out how far back our common ancestor is? Neither of us has identified one in our respective trees, although we suspect somewhere in the Polish Pale of Settlement.
