This project is a meeting place for users who share the J2a2b2 Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their maternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.
The defining mutations for J2a2b2 are: C456T T13015C T13830C
If you've been told by 23andme that your MtDNA is J2a2 (autosomal or Ancestry test only) then you may want to find the list* of mutation markers for the haplogroups below that as you may get a more specific haplogroup. You can open the RawDNA file with Notepad++ and search for markers yourself. I did but only after a professional did for me and then explained how one would do it themselves.
If you're reading after doing google search for J2a2b2, believe me, I feel your frustration. Seems like every obscure haplogroup in since Eve have teams of researchers publishing their work online but we have nothing out there.
I am the most unqualified researcher ever to contribute to a Geni project, I'm also the only one here so please join and share.
Photos are of my J2a2b2 ancestors and their J2a2b2 daughters, please share yours as well and include their age at death. I see a pattern of unusually long lives in my maternal line and I'm curious it relates. The men lived long lives too but I don't have photos.
