H5: An Introduction

Co-Admin for H5, H5a and H5a1: Anne Webb Nelson email

FTDNA-hosted site is mtDNA Haplogroup H Project: H5

Project membership contains a mixed group of results. There are those who have taken only a basic test placing them in Haplogroup H with HVR1 results. There are some who have extended their testing to HVR2. Many have taken the mtDNA Full Genome Sequence test that includes all of the control and coding regions.

All results considered in this section come from members who have taken ether the mtDNA Haplogroup H subclade test, mt-H, or the mtDNA Full Genome Sequence test, FGS, and are positive for the H5 mutations.

**Finnila collected 480 samples from Red Cross offices in several Finnish provinces. Of these 188 were Hs using the 7025AluI restriction site. 31 Hs were selected for an mtDNA full sequence. Any H5s found in Finnila would have been classified as H* or H(xH1,xH2).

Any H5s found in Hernstadt would have been classified as H* or H(xH1,xH2,xH3).
