This project is a meeting place for users who share the X2c1b 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.

- Druze Assyrian community in Israel (27%).

- Sioux (USA) (15%),
