This project is a meeting place for users who share the L0a1b2a 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.
Haplogroup L0 (mtDNA)
The geographic origins of populations can be identified by their maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups
Haplogroup L0a is most prevalent in South-East African populations (25% in Mozambique).[6] Among Guineans, it has a frequency between 1% and 5%, with the Balanta group showing increased frequency of about 11%. Haplogroup L0a has a Paleolithic time depth of about 33,000 years and likely reached Guinea between 10,000 and 4,000 years ago. It also is often seen in the Mbuti and Biaka Pygmies. L0a is found at a frequency of almost 25% in Hadramawt (Yemen)
