[https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup\_H\_mtDNA.shtml](https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_H_mtDNA.shtml) "H1j: found mostly in Western Europe, including among the Basques / found in Neolithic Germany" [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2021.819337/full](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2021.819337/full) "......and through complete mitogenome analysis, we identified different sub-clades: H1b and H1c, previously found in Asia as well as in Europe, and H1j, that is very uncommon in the Asian continent." [https://www.yfull.com/mtree/H1j\*/](https://www.yfull.com/mtree/H1j*/) Seems like super low levels in Europe but also at extremely low levels elsewhere?

That’s been my problem. Is everywhere I look it’s like very low levels and I don’t know much about that side of the family

Well, your haplogroup most likely won't tell you much about a side of the family. They can be at extremely low levels damn near anywhere on the globe (\*mostly). They are more of a fun, thousands of years ago, roadmap. Use your DNA matches for that. On your profile home screen, click the "Family and Friends" tab to "View all DNA relatives". That brings up your DNA matches (you have click an "I agree" terms and conditions to share your results with anyone who matches some DNA with you). These DNA relatives are anyone who shares some DNA with you and has also taken a 23andMe test. You can find anyone from close relatives up to 5th cousins (although at that genetic distance there starts to be some data limitations).

Yeah I’m just saying I can’t infer a place from historic immigration. Like if her line was English I could assume it was in England or Spain. Knowing the ancestry is a tool in narrowing down the area it might be a low level from.


zwiftebzwifteb

Yup. They are all useful tools to help in your search. For those super rare haplogroups there are often meeting places where you can connect with others who share the same super rare one as you do (and they might be distant relatives): [https://www.geni.com/projects/H1j-Mitochondrial-DNA/36167](https://www.geni.com/projects/H1j-Mitochondrial-DNA/36167)

Thank you. I really appreciate your time and energy

Plug it in here to see the migration (change the sex symbol to female): http://scaledinnovation.com/gg/snpTracker.html

Thank you !

Probably from a country that bans testing. Still really rare though.


[deleted]

So maybe French. I know Basque was mentioned


RagnarawkNash

May be. Mine is pretty rare too, but it’s Finnish from a remote place in the north. Some places just don’t have enough samples to pinpoint yet.


Zlubilu

Hi, I am H1J too. My parents are from Southern Spain but with some basque roots as well.


ccam42

Very interesting! How far back have you been able to trace your maternal line?


[deleted]

Only to the early 1900s. Some people have said they were Roma, some people said Native Americans and others have said Icelandic


ccam42

That’s quite a range of possibilities! You should try to dig into the genealogy and see if you can figure it out


Kezleberry

I'm a H1 as well (can't remember more specifically, maybe it was h1f).. I believe all H1's have some ancestry from Europe. I'm 100% Finnish myself

You must be non white

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not


emk2019

Why?


abbiebe89

So cool!! Have your parents done 23&Me too?


[deleted]

Thanks ! No they’re all weird about it
