Hello,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I just received My Maternal grandmothers MTDNA. It says we are W1
I don't know how to figure out the letters and numbers. I am quite confused, my 5 x great grandmother was abandoned as a baby along a wagon trail, in Shawnee Territory in Ohio 1808. She was thought to be full Shawnee Native American. An indian agent told the family who adopted her, that she was probably a twin, and that the weaker twin would often be abandoned because they were considered to be a bad omen. I can't see how this would fit within group W.
Thanks,
Heather
