Question about match

[mothdust9]

I'm definitely grateful for the sale! I can't think of a better holiday gift than FGS results...except maybe world peace, but I don't think Old Nick's sleigh is big enough for that one ...

[mothdust9]

Right, but others in batches 330, 331, and 332 have received results far before the expected date, so surely Griffeth and I should be getting our results soon....

[mothdust9]

I'm confused, I'm in batch 330 and still haven't gotten my results. But, looking at the Batch 331 thread, it looks like they've already gotten results.

I'm in this batch. HVR2 to Mega, mtDNA haplogroup W.

Can't wait!

Yes, I have two exact matches on mitosearch. I have contacted both, but have not received any replies.

Thanks,

I found an exact HVR1 and HVR2 match in the Sorenson database whose line is from Austria-Hungary. Does anyone know how I could contact that person?

Thanks,

I finally figured out where I got it wrong. I found a different family tree of a Wilhelmine Hesser who was born around 1826 and her family was Jewish. But, the one I was looking for was the one who died in 1826. I got the dates mixed up when I was searching I guess. I'm assuming the Jewish family...

Jim, you're super! I really appreciate you checking that for me, perhaps there is no Ashkenazi link after all then? I don't think I had heard of smgf.org before, I'll check it out.

Thanks,

W4, I feel like a moron Sorry about that Jim. I had been on the Cid page earlier today, but it kept pulling up W1 AND W4 when I used the subclade finder. Now, it's pulling up just W4. Anyway, thank you for your help as always!

I'm in North Carolina, but I don't know where my biological mother was from. I had heard a while back that she and her family may have orinally been from California and that she moved back there after giving birth to me, but I can't be sure of that info.

It all seems to be documented very carefully here:
http://www.ehrman.net/blacksea/schockbess/schock.htm

When looking up information on Bessarabia, there is info on the Odessa executions listing people with the surnames of Schock, Ehrman, etc. which said they were Jewish civilians....

[mothdust9]

Isn't Hesser a Jewish surname? In looking up info about Hesser and the other families related to Wilhelmine Hesser, they seem to all be Jewish. Am I looking at the wrong family trees? On one genealogy website they list a Hesser being buried in Sinai Jewish cemetary in California and her family line...

I just got my HVR2 results today that resulted in 2 high resolution matches! I checked mitosearch and have 2 exact matches that trace their oldest maternal ancestor to Wilhelmine Christiane Hesser. I'm quite excited.

I've been trying to figure out my subclade, but I'm not sure if I'm...

[mothdust9]

I think it's odd, too. My score for Iran was 99% and Kuwait was 94%. Almost all my native population matches were in the 80th or 90th percentile.
