I'm in haplogroup H3h with FMS, tested about 6 years ago. I've been monitoring my matches to see if any can be tied in to my known genealogy which goes back to early Dutch settlers of Schenectady, NY on my mtDNA line, without any success. Some of my exact matches are from Sweden and Russia which must be pre-genealogical connections. I have a total of 140 matches of GD 0-3, with 23 at GD 0. Last week my 23rd GD 0 match showed up and she has an ancestor who has the same last name (Scott) as my 3rd great grandmother, they were born a year apart, and lived as adults in Warren County in upstate NY. Since they were born around 1802-3 there are no census records to show them together and I can find no birth or baptism records showing names of parents, but I have other evidence for the parents of my ancestor. My match has found none for hers.
I think the odds would be very small that this is just a coincidence and these two women were not sisters. I'd welcome other opinions.
