This project is a meeting place for users who share the U5b1b2a 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 U5 is found throughout Europe. Nearly half of all Sami and one fifth of Finnish maternal lineages belong to U5. The highest percentages are observed in populations associated predominantly with Y-haplogroup N1c1 (the Finns and the Sami).
Haplogroup U5b1b2a is found in Finland.
The age of haplogroup (mutation A3434G) is about 3000 (5000-1000) years.
New sub-clades with defining mutations are identified by Y-full:
- U5b1b2a1 (C8934T)
- U5b1b2a2 (C10307T)
- U5b1b2a3 (T125C)
- U5b1b2a4 (T4080C)
