| SHETLAND ISLANDS MITOCHONDRIAL (MATERNAL LINE) DNA RESULTS |
| HAPLOGROUP "J" (JASMINE) |
| Name: CHRISTINA PETERSON was born 1817 in Breck, Whiteness (kit # 77186). Motif: 16069T, 16126C, 73G, 228A, 263G, 295T, 315.1C, 462T, 482C, 489C. Subclade: J*. Matches: There is little that can be said about the HVR1 motif as the two mutations are those defining haplogroup J, but there are no others and so there is no use in reporting the results of standard databases as J* is scattered across Europe and the Middle East. It is the HVR2 results that may provide some geographical specificity. Turning to the FTDNA customer database (which has a British Isles bias) there are 14 exact HVR1 and HVR2 matches. Still there are matches from Hungary and Poland to Scotland and Wales. The single matches in Scotland and Norway are perhaps the most pertinent. The Shetland Database of 503 samples found in the Goodacre study located 17 with the above motif (HVR1 only). |
