MY MITOCHONDRIAL DNA TEST RESULTS:
U3b3 - "Uma's Daughter"
(Family Tree DNA)
In October of 2005, I made the decision to submit to mitochondrial DNA testing using Family Tree DNA. When I received my results, I was sure surprised to learn I am a descendant of the Uma Clan. I am not descended from one of the so-called seven (7) European daughters of Eve! The Uma Clan was said to have originated in the Zagros Mountains, which lie along the Iran and Iraq border, and started to move out of there about eight thousand years ago. It has been said that members of Uma's Clan have been found particularly in Turkey, Armenia, Syria and Iraq, although there are also members of her clan as far afield as Norway, Scotland, Denmark and Germany.
HAPLOGROUP: U3b3 (Uma's Daughter Clan)
HVR1 Mutations: A16129G, C16168T, T16187C, C16189T, T16223C, T16230A, G16274A, T16278C, C16311T, A16343G
HVR2 Mutations: A95C, C146T, C150T, C195T, A247G, 522.1A, 522.2C, 315.1C
FAMILY TREE DNA DESCRIPTION OF U3: The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup U3 "Uma" is found distributed throughout Europe, appearing, for example, in higher frequencies in Sweden, Georgia, and Bulgaria, and is estimated to have originated more than 12,000 years ago. A sublineage of haplogroup U3 is found distributed in southeast Europe, and it has been suggested that this lineage was part of the Neolithic expansion bringing agriculture to Europe from the Near East.
