Thanks, guys, for the feedback. It's really fascinating to think about. My immigrant ancestor to the American colonies came from the Sussex region in England. He did, however, have a surname of probable Norman origin, so I wonder if the L21 was insular or continental (Normandy or Brittany)...

Is there a difference between the L21 found in France (Brittany and Normandy) and the L21 found in southeast England? Could the L21 found in England be, originally, insular with some people of that line removing themselves, due to pressure by Anglo-Saxon invasion, to Brittany and then a...

Hello all. I would like to know if anyone could shed some light on mtdna hg H16b. Geno2.0 results indicated that I belong to this line but, as of yet, I haven't been able to dig up very much on this hg. I posted this same inquiry several months back, and I just wanted to check back in with the...

Well, Flamestitch, It seems that you and I share a maternal ancestor, possibly an Anglo-Saxon woman, whose granddaughters (many generations later) found their way to the New World in the mid 17th century. It really is a small, small world sometimes! Glad I get to communicate with you via 21st...

Just wanted to add a couple of links concerning mtDNA haplogroup H16b: Complete genome of H16b: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/JX423390 Sequence H16 group: http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/sequences_by_group/h16_genbank_sequences.htm

zanipolo, As promised: H16 sequence group link: http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/sequences_by_group/h16_genbank_sequences.htm Complete H16b genome: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/JX423390

Flamestitch, Wouldn't surprise me at all if we shared some maternal ancestor somewhere in Virginia. Most of my maternal ancestors eventually migrated south to NC and then SC.

zanipolo, I will post some links that you my find interesting after I hit the magic number of 10 posts.

zanipolo, He told me that the coding region mutation was C9129T. I'm not exactly sure how he put his hands on the info. I hope that is helpful to you.

Oh, by the way, Flamestitch, My maternal immigrant ancestor also arrived in the colony of Virginia in the mid 1600's from the British Isles!

Hi, Flamestitch! I made an inquiry to a geneticist in the UK with access to the GenBank info. He informed me that out of 18,000 sequences on GenBank, only 33 are H16, and out of those only 12 appear to be H16b, so it appears to be an uncommon group. He was kind enough to add a couple of lines...

I actually found the complete genetic sequence of H16b on the NCBI GenBank site. I can't post a link here until I have reached 10 posts on Eupedia - so I am using this note to add 1! I don't have the necessary skills to decipher the content of the link, but perhaps some of you would be...

I have found the complete genetic sequence of H16b on the NCBI GenBank site. I will post a link after I reach the required 10 posts!

I have the following query posted under the main Genetic Genealogy and Haplogroups header, but I wanted to include it here, as well. I participated in the Genographic Project's Geno2.0 DNA test, and I received the mtDNA haplogroup result of H16b. I would like to know if anyone has any info...

Thanks, Fire Haired, for the well thought out and very informative response. I really appreciate you taking the time to try to dig up some information on the H16b mtHaplogroup. I'll just have to keep at it. It seems that that lineage needs more research and more individuals to share their...

Hello everyone. I just recently joined the site, and I posted a short note in the introduction forum. This site is fantastic, and I hope to join in on the discussions from here on out. Looking forward to it! I recently participated in the Genographic Project's Geno2.0 DNA test. My results were...
