My name is David Christopher. I just tested my Daughter and the first question is how/what does Female mtDNA mutate so that you get matches with different Genetic Distance. I understand how the male mutations work on STR's but I have no idea what is mutating in mtDNA.
Is it SNP's or does the mitochondria have STR's. My daughter is young and is the only one of 3 that is interested. I want to help her understand how this works and general ideas of how to do research as she has a brick wall on her 2nd grandma b. 1816.
Now I was also was at a brick wall with my 2nd grandfather b. 1820 but with the help of the sponsor of the R-U152 project DF90 branck who has the same haplogroup as me to solve my brick wall using testing of various cousins and Y matches. I am wondering if there is a similar procedure for woman.
Her haplogroup is H5a1p and she has only 10 0 GD matches and 2 matches at 1 genetic distance and 2 at two genetic distance.
Thanks for reading
