mtDNA Genetic Test Results For Descendants
of Harvey Settlement Founders

Genetic Test Results Summary Page

Since mtDNA is passed directly from mothers to children with virtually no changes the test values obtained are generally applicable to all direct maternal descendants.

mtDNA chromosome test results below are divided into three sections:

1. Maternal lines directly traceable to an early Harvey settler.

2. Results obtained for an early Harvey settler descendant whose maternal line originated elsewhere.

3. Northumberland residents who contributed a DNA sample to the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation at the Harvey Settler Reunion Marquis Tent during the 2007 Glendale Show in Wooler, Northumberland.

The summary chart for eached tested individual below includes the testees name, earliest known maternal ancestor, testing company, mtDNA haplogroup and Hyper VariableRegions 1, 2 and 3 mutations that characterize the individual. Identical results indicate a common maternal ancestor. Near identical results also indicate a common maternal ancestor. However, as mtDNA generally mutates much more slowly than paternally derived Y chromosome markers the common ancestor would have been much further in the past than the origin of surnames approximately 500 years ago.

The mtDNA haplogroup designations below are based on the global human mtDNA phylogenetic tree - Build 3 (1 Mar 2009). See: http://www.phylotree.org

Earliest Maternal Ancestor:	Eleanor Jane Logan b. 1857 d. ?
mtDNA Haplogroup: K1a4a1a	www.mitosearch.org ID: FMJ4H
HVR1 Mutations 16224C 16245T 16311C 16519C	HVR2 Mutations 00073G 00146C 00263G 00309.1C 00315.1C 00366R*	HVR3 Mutations 00497T

R* indicates that this marker is heteroplasmic. 00366R is the IUPAC code for G or A. Heteroplasmy is the presence of a mixture of more than one type of an organellar genome (mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or plastid DNA) within a cell or individual. Since every eukaryotic cell contains many hundreds of mitochondria with hundreds of copies of mtDNA, it is possible and indeed very frequent for mutations to affect only some of the copies, while the remaining ones are unaffected. The 16245T mutation in the results above are also of interest as this mutation appears in only three branches of K1a4a1a (Bill Hurst pers. comm. 2009, GENEALOGY-DNA Digest, Vol 4, Issue 408). It is a mutation "affected by heteroplasmy," which is a mutation which rarely or never shows up as a heteroplasmy, but whose appearances on a tree is best explained by the process of heteroplasmy. It appears to be a recurrent mutation, but in reality probably only mutated once - at the top of the K1a4a1a subclade and rarely in other haplogroups; twice in H for example.
