Hi Nancy, There are some groups of mtDNA that are uncommon. Especially if they are placed in an isolated situation as your U5. As for me on my mother’s (French Canadian)side it is W3a2. At this point all French Canadian W3a2 matches go to a single person that immigrated there around 1600. My Dad is L2a1c. While there is a large number worldwide there are very few in the Acores. My great grandmother is K1a4a1 again not a common group in the Azores. This makes things interesting when there is a match.
I am glad your testing paid off Nancy.

Do you descend from her daughters down to you? In my case, my paternal grandmother, Maria Felizarda da Castro Cardoso Baptista, had 2 sons. I was able to test my dads brother for both Y and MT DNA and she was U5.

There's a sale and I can get you coupon code for more of a discount. By testing, you can help other researchers too. You could have the documentation on the branch that another researcher is missing. After finding out they match you DNA wise, you can work to figure it all out.
