Matching Mitochondrial DNA with cousins you didn't know existed

Many people in the last few years have found broken, lost and unknown family connections through Mitochondrial DNA Testing. From mother to daughter... and so on, this DNA does not change but in extremely small ways. So your Mitochondrial is merely the same as your mother's mother's mother's mother's mother.... you get the point.

By matching with other people today, you have discovered that these particular people are your rather close relatives. 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins... this also helps join family trees to where there was no other answer or proof. Mitochondrial DNA Testing is a great thing!

Haplogroup H is the most common...and found in Italy 28,000 years ago!

Haplogroup H is the most common group found in modern Europeans. The earliest account for Haplogroup H was found in a man who was roaming the Earth 28,000 years ago. This information really helps form a genuine timeline. This discovery was made by Mitochondrial DNA Testing.

Was located at Paglicci Cave, Italy
