I am searching for some answers, and was hoping some of you Forum experts could help.
Does my mtDNA haplogroup, H7c3, indicate that my maternal ancestry is from western Anatolia (Turkey), and that these middle-eastern farmers spread north via the Balkans and colonzied the Carpathian region (and further north to Scandinavia) during the Neolithic period?
Regarding H7, I found this:
“The first pottery produced in the Fertile Crescent appeared circa 6500 BCE. It is from this period that early agriculturalists began expanding towards western Anatolia and Greece. These Neolithic farmers potentially belonged to haplogroups H2, H5, H7, H13 and H20 (as well as J2b1, K1a, N1, T2 and X2), all of which have been found in ancient Neolithic samples from Europe and are also found throughout the Middle East today.”
"H7 was probably part of the Neolithic migration from the Carpathians to Ukraine that gave rise to the Dnieper-Donets culture, along perhaps with mt-haplogroups K1c, K2b, T1a1a, T2a1b1 and T2b, and with Y-haplogroups G2a3b1 and J2b2. All these lineages would subsequently be absorbed by the Proto-Indo-European speakers (Y-haplogroups R1a and R1b) of the Yamna culture during Bronze Age."

On a related note, what is the most likely associated Y-haplogroup for H7: R1a or R1b?
Many thanks in advance.
