Just discovered that my mt-DNA haplogroup is N1b1, which is supposedly very rare in Europe and of Jewish origin. This came as a surprise for me as I thought my maternal lineage was predominantly Dutch. My most distant ancestor was Catharina/Katryntje Cronenberg who was born around 1625 in the Netherlands (her daughter was Magdalena Hendricks who married Cornelis Vonk/Vonck in New York).
Anyone out there with the same haplogroup?

How do you find out your Halpo group? I just got my results back and can't find anything other than where the family comes from but no group. I assume I'm R1b but can't find that anywhere at Ancestry. Is there a place to go I'm not going?

Hi,
My Haplogroup is N1b1d. My family was centered in Terrasini, Palermo, Italy. I've traced one branch back to 1776. My DNA testing shows that I'm 52% Italian, 24% non-specific Southern European, 13% non-specific European and other bits and pieces. Non-specific means the results are found in many countries in the general area and can't be assigned to a specific country or region. What has me confused is that individuals who have been identified as relatives are in completely different haplogroups.

My maternal Haplogroup is N1b1 and my family is Italian as well. My testing shows 56% Italian, 18% non-specific Southern European, 14% non-specific European. I have not found one other identified relative with N1b1. Very confusing!

My maternal DNA is also N1b1, but Italian is way down into the decimal %s. I am mostly northern european, Irish, and French. The group originated in central africa, but more than that, I don't know. It is a rare haplogroup and not much info is out there.

I just got my daughter's mt- DNA haplogroup back and it is also N1b1...I am assuming since I am her Mom, mine would be the same. My family is from Lithuania but since they immigrated in 1895, finding any information prior to that is very difficult. Although they claimed they were not Jewish, they def have physical characteristics and it has always been suspected that my great grandmother was indeed Jewish.

I am N1b1 myself. I usually identify myself as being mostly Irish, but I do know that my mother's grandmother immigrated from Lithuania- not sure of much before that :) I didn't know I was rare (although my husband tells me that all the time! )

I've been told that N1b1.. is rare in Europe . It is found mostly in Iran. My DNA testing shows that I'm 97 % European with 76% Italian composition. I also have about 5% Middle Eastern. The Ashkenazi Jewish population in Europe usually is N1B2.
My mother's family is light skinned and her grandfather had red hair. I take after my dad's family and I have dark skin and hair. It's just how the DNA is parsed out.
