Mitochondrial DNA results have been sorted by haplogroup designations, rather than surnames, since female surnames change. A haplogroup is the term used to define one's deep ancestral origins that may pinpoint to a particular region in the world. It is anticipated that a match may be revealed between participants by comparing females' maiden names within a given haplogroup. Additional information on the origin of the haplogroups is also included. Please submit your maternal line pedigree when joining the Scotland DNA Project.

Haplogroup K's origin is in Europe, and contains multiple closely related lineages
indicating a recent population expansion. This haplogroup dates
to approximately 16,000 years ago, and it has been suggested that
individuals with this haplogroup took part in the pre-Neolithic expansion
following the Last Glacial Maximum.1
The 'K' haplogroup has been nicknamed "Katrine" in Brian Sykes'
"The Seven Daughters of Eve".2

Haplogroup H is a predominantly European haplogroup that participated in a population expansion beginning approximately 20,000 years ago. Today, about 30% of all mitochondrial lineages in Europe are classified as haplogroup H. It is rather uniformly distributed throughout Europe suggesting a major role in the peopling of Europe, and descendant lineages of the original haplogroup H appear in the Near East as a result of migration.1

Principally European, haplogroup I is detected at very low frequency across west Eurasia with slightly greater representation in northern and western Europe. Given its wide, but sparse, distribution, it is likely that it was present in those populations that first colonized Europe. This hypothesis is supported by the estimate of its age—approximately 30,000 years.1 Additional information on Haplogroup I: Mitochondrial

Haplogroup V is primarily European and underwent an expansion within Europe beginning approximately 13,000 years ago. Though it occurs at low frequency throughout Europe, it is interesting to note that the highest frequency of haplogroup V is found among the Saami in Finland and the Catalunya region of Spain. Some evidence suggests that individuals bearing haplogroup V participated in the colonization of Europe following the last period of glaciation.1 *CRS - Cambridge Reference Sequence - Participants with "CRS" do not have any differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence. Additional information on Haplogroup
V: Haplogroup X |
Haplogroup X is derived from the N superhaplogroup, which dates to approximately 65,000 years ago. The origin of haplogroup X dates to approximately 30,000 years, and is found distributed throughout the world. Originally found in Europe and thought to be only distributed regionally, the finding of haplogroup X in the Americas startled the human population genetics community. Recently, it has been discovered that there are two major sub-lineages within haplogroup X, and that the geographic distribution and relative ages of these two sub-lineages accord with previous ideas concerning the peopling of the world. Future work on this interesting haplogroup will better document the particulars of the emergence of its distribution and shed more light on regional historical contact and migration.1 *CRS - Cambridge Reference Sequence - Participants with "CRS" do not have any differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence.

The Scotland DNA Project is
an independent genealogical research study that is not affiliated with a
university.
The study receives no grant underwriting, and participants are responsible
for the costs of their own tests.
The project was organized as a cooperative effort among family historians
who wish to explore genetic testing
to advance their knowledge of deep and recent family backgrounds.
