Have you searched at www.smgf.org and Genebase's DNAReunion?

I think you should post the case data on Ysearch, and put the Ysearch ID in your signature. Then people can examine and compare the data.

I think your tentative connection to Germany and Poland is very weak, considering that R1a was brought to Britain by Vikings and probably Normans....

[Jim Honeychuck]

R1b is such a common haplogroup, you will need specialist advice from those folks.

I'll just start with two basic points. One is that you are right, an apparent match in haplogroup N is of no interest to you.

Second, you should be checking databases other than FTDNA for...

[Jim Honeychuck]

Sure. If your known ancestry is English and you're J1*, your ancestors could have come with the Romans, or maybe during the Neolithic, nobody knows yet. Keep looking in all the databases for good strong matches.

[Jim Honeychuck]

Either direction.

In general, the most frequent value is thought to be the pre-mutation one. Since you don't have a very large sample, try looking in places like www.Ysearch.org.

Are you managing more than one account?

I don't even get those e-mail notices any more.

Good thing you asked before spending your money, because it is generally not possible to find relatives using mtDNA. An exact match on mtDNA Plus just means a 50% probability of a common maternal ancestor within the past 1,000 years or so.

As for place of origin, some people have a rare...

[Jim Honeychuck]

You might search for exact matches: www.mitosearch.org, www.smgf.org, http://www.dnareunion.org, McEvoy's Irish mtdna database http://www.gen.tcd.ie/molpopgen/data.htm, the ancient DNA summary http://www.buildinghistory.org/dista...cientdna.shtml

And maybe some research papers....

[Jim Honeychuck]

No, because those probabilities are too small. You are looking for E-010 or E-012, something like that.

[Jim Honeychuck]

Welcome. For a start, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing rarely if ever leads to relatives, because an exact match just means a 50% chance of a common maternal relative within the past 1,000 years or so.

Your scores are very low/weak. Looks like after Mestizo (Honduras) and Colombia, and that Mexican Maya, the DNATribes algorithm is struggling. Uzbeks are Central Asian people, not especially connected with Native Americans, so I wouldn't read anything into that "match." And on Part D, the...

[Jim Honeychuck]

When you cut and paste, it doesn't pick up the score, just the number in parentheses.

Isn't the CRS value for 16278 C? That means your alternative search on Mitosearch should omit 16278 altogether.

You have the opposite situation to many of us, in that this type is too common and you have too many matches.

There's a Tinker on www.SMGF.org. Has a family tree with it. No haplogroups are indicated in that database.

You might also look for Tinker on www.DNAReunion...
