Thanks Jaime,

I realize that their mt DNA would be the same as mine, I just want to see if the outcome is the same or similar. I want to put the test to the test to see how true it is. My skepticism makes me want to double check??

Thanks again,
Alicia

Alicia,
If you and your brothers have the same mother, they do not need to characterized their mtDNA. Is the same yours, and also the same as your grandmother, greatgrandmother....or the sons and daughters from the female side (e.g., if your mother has a sister, her children will share your mtDNA. The analogous situation would be with the Y-chromosome. As long as their is only one father, thats all you need.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] mtDNA test results

Well I finally had my mtDNA performed and received the results today. I can now join Gary Felix's site for the mtDNA, Amerind project. My Haplogroup is A which arose about 50,000 years ago in Central Asia. Haplogroup A was first found among the aboriginal American population. It is one of the five mitochondrial lineages found in aboriginal Americans in North and South America. I guess thanks to my mother and my mother's mother's mothers, I am truly an American.

Now that I've had myself tested, I'll have one of my brothers submit a sample for YDNA and mtDNA and wait to see what the results are.
As the woman on the Comcast commercial says when she's running after the gentleman who's jogging on the track, and she approaches him in her heels and suit to share with him her great deal with Comcast and in conclusion she says, "I'm pumped" ................that's how I feel now...........I'm pumped and excited about my Native American ancestry.

There were no high resolution matches to date, only low resolution matches, two from Mexico, one from the USA and one from England.

I'm afraid I still don't know how to interpret the table with the HVR1 differences from CRS. If anyone has any wisdom to share with respect to DNA testing results and how to read or interpret the findings or knows of literature other than what's on the website that is comprehensive, I would appreciate your assistance.

Linda,

We're sisters in spirit, what an honor to share my haplogroup with such illustrious people on this group.
I will surely go to the links section to read the chart. I've already corresponded with three of the people that are a match with my DNA and am very excited to know a little more about them.

Thanks Again,
Alicia

Alicia, I also am Haplo Group A but apparently we are not a match, boy, would that have been something to celebrate!

Not sure if you noticed in the link section go to DNA and then Indigenous DNA. It has a chart showing the migration patterns and the bands that make up each group including the one in Mexico. It's at the very end of the article but very, very interesting..
