This project is a meeting place for users who share the V21 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 V originates from the HVO subclass of the HV haplogroup, from which it separated over 14,000 years ago. It is considered to be a molecular signal of postglacial expansion of populations from the Franco-Cantabrian region in the European human population and to have participated in the settlement of central and northern Europe. This haplogroup was found among the archaeological remains of people from many European Neolithic cultures (Starčevo culture-sample age ± 7600 years; linear-strip pottery culture - sample age ± 7100 years; megalithic cultures - sample age ± 5200 years). Some are considered that is an indigenous European haplogroup. The highest frequency was recorded in the northern parts of Scandinavia (in the Sammi population over 40%), followed by Finland and the Baltic, Iberian Peninsula, and Maghreb countries. In Europe, it is represented in frequencies from 2% to 8%.
