If you consult the results page in the project mt Haplogroup “I” of FTDNA you will find the sub clade “I1c” under the denomination “Ashkenazi clade”. It is the only similar tag I’ve found in the projects I’ve visited.
As I’m “I1c” I have especial interest in find out if there is something that justifies this assertion.
Since the studies of Behar et al., some years ago, it is known that a hundred generations ago there was a bottleneck and more of 40% of the ashkenazi descend of only four women “founders” . But as is explained in the 2006 article “The Matrilineal Ancestry of Ashkenazi Jewry: Portrait of a Recent Founder Event”. Behar et al. three of women founders belong to haplogroup “K” and the other was “N1b”. The denomination of the haplogroups change and maybe, but I don’t think so, the 2006 “N1b” is now “N1 I1c”. Even then I don’t think justified to name a subclade as ashkenazi clade because one woman, not the woman that had the mutation, belonged to this grup. Prima facie it’s not serious but I need more information.
Any coment is welcome and it can help me in this issue.
