Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup H1c
Your maternal line stems from a branch of H1 called H1c. The common ancestor of haplogroup H1c lived approximately 6,500 years ago in southwestern Europe, where her ancestors had sheltered from the last great cold peak of the Ice Age thousands of years earlier. While she probably lived in southern France or the Iberian Peninsula, her descendants are most frequently found among eastern Europeans. Women carrying H1c journeyed eastward from southwestern Europe, passed north of the Italian Alps and entered present-day Slovakia. From there, H1c spread north throughout the region surrounding the Baltic Sea and the Volga-Ural area of Russia. Members of H1c also moved into southeastern Europe to Ukraine, the Balkans, and the Caucasus Mountains. Today, H1c can be found at low levels throughout Europe.
