mtDNA haplogroup J

[Isabella Baltar]

Hi all,

I have been working on my maternal genealogy and have it documented until the second half of 1600's. Being able to know my haplogroup, J1, gave new lights to my research and I hope this will help to break a brick wall I have at the moment, although I'm working in different ways to find more.

The mtDNA on the J group is no more than 8% of the population of the Central and Eastern islands (Santos et al. in Origin of Peopling in the Azores).

On the Y DNA, the significance for the J haplogroup is 10% for the Central islands and 11.7% for the Eastern ones (Fernando et al. in Peopling of the Azores).

I would like to know if there is anyone in the group that has the Haplogroup J (mtDNA) on the Central islands and the Eastern ones?

Thank you,

Isabella

Two J1 out of about 200 mtDNA results.  That's only 1% of the Azores DNA project, which is not random sampling.

Hi Judi,

We are just a few having the J. How far back were you able to go?

I have all my maternal line back to the 1600's, until my 7th great grandmother, the records show that they were all born in Terceira, mainly in São Sebastião, except for the 7th one that I don't have a birth record.

That's very impressive, Cheri, and very unique. I'm willing to do another if it will add new clues to my research. Do you suggest anything?

Hi Isabella,

My maternal line only goes back to 1800.  I have a pai incognito which held me up for a long time.  my other lines go back to the 1500's.  All my lines are on Sao Miguel, I don't have any other islands.

Good morning Judi, 

Is your J group a maternal one? Are you a J1 or J2 ? Is this the J the one going back to 1800? Sorry asking so many questions, just trying to figure out the information.

I did my mtDNA with National Geographic a couple of years ago and it came out J* (not 1 or 2). I haven't worked too much on my material side since my father's side (mostly English, been in the US since the 1620's) has been much easier to track. The earliest maternal female I know of is my great-grandmother, who was born in Mass. My grandmother and mother were both born in Fairfield, CA, so I don't know which islands that line came from. My grandfather was born on Sao Jorge, as were both of his parents and that's as far back as I've gotten in that line.

Lorinda,

Thank you for contacting. I know about the National Geographic project, I have done my DNA through Sorenson, some time ago as well. DNA tests has changed a lot, so I decided to do another one this week, to have a deeper information on my maternal side of the family. I hope this will help me with a brick wall that I have at the moment and have enough information for my two daughters.

If you decided at any time to search your maternal side, let me know what you have, as our J group is small, the travelling between the island were common, we may have connection.
