My mother has always said she thought her grandmother was part Cherokee.. My dna

testing only proved she was native american.. Since being female I can only trace

maternal(mtDNA) results being ingenious american  I have done a family tree dna to get results for the rest of me.. lol

 

That's very possible Samuel. I'm sure being in D halogroup and specifically D1 doesn't

mean everyone is genetically matched.. Making a comparison of dna results determines

genetic connection as you know.. I'm waiting for my results from ftdna now. Just had

it done. My mtdna was done with ancestrybydna..

Samuel,

I am curious though.. So why don't you manually input your mtdna results into dna.ancestry.com? It's free and we will see if you show up in my list of matches.. I have

11 matches so far.. I found 69 at genebase and 77 at mitosearch.org.. All these

cousins from all over the world and I don't know any of them, and this is only my mother's side.. lol

Ok. I thought you were asking about D1 subgroup before. I assumed you had tested

to be under D halogroup. Well, when you get your results uploaded in other databases

you may find more matches like I did.. Good luck...

Hey Samuel,

First of all, why no pic..??? lol

Ok. I misunderstood what you meant by h1 and h2.. Halogroup D is the overall

halogroup that we fall into.. D1 is a subgroup of D.. I have googled for information

and found the link below which explains D1.. Hope it helps you understand a little better.

Wikipedia explains D1 subgroup of D.. 

Hi Samuel,

Haven't spoke with you in a while.. Did you do your testing with Family Tree DNA? I'm still waiting

on my results.. I uploaded my ancestry.com results in several other databases.. Genebase returned

a match with the name Antonio Chavez and Maria Gomez, original location of San Luis Potosi, Mexico..

Are you familiar with either of those names and/or location?
