* Native American Haplogroups & Variants * ------------------------------------------------------- ( Native American Haplogroups for mtDNA are: A, B, C, D & X. ) [ Variants represent differing populations within the same Haplogroup, i.e. A & A2 would represent two totally different and unique tribal populations. ] - ALL Individuals listed are Puerto Rican regardless of their Surnames & come from all over the United States and Puerto Rico. They represent my Family from 1-5th cousins. - Haplogroup A ----------------- -Variants- A, A2, A2-C64T, A2K, A2K1, A2z, A4 ( A ) - Marilyn Jeulin, Judith Milagros Hernandez, Maikel Rodriguez, Luis Rafael Viera Zayas, Maryann Bonilla Santos, Aixa Ivette Maldonado, Aladino Robles, Jose Rafael Hernandez, Carmen Hutchison, Virginia Lopez Melendez, Jose David Robles-Lopez, Maria Ines Soto-Cardona, Jesse James Gonzalez Menendez, Jr., Carmen Migdalia Reyes, Marcelino Rodriguez, Rosa Haydee Alonso, Evangeline Robles Johnson ( A2 ) - Mariano Augustine Torres, Gloria Dueltgen, Adam Daniel Buttons, Desiree Mellen Brown, Luis Ramos ( A2-C64T ) - Silkia Vionette Bowman Nee de Jesus, Nancy Cuevas Guzman ( A2K ) - Carmen Fontan ( A2K1 ) - Carmen Lidia Gonzalez, Beatriz de Lourdes Contreras ( A2z ) - Neftali Ocasio Cordero, Cesar Augusto Zapata-Dominguez, Rafael Antonio Delgado-Simonet, Lidia Ramirez Pagan, Mildred Hernandez ( A4 ) - Magda L. Porrata-Doria Cruz ===================================== Haplogroup B ----------------- -Variants- B2B, B45 ( B2B ) - Esteban Rosario, Hedy Rieff, Miriam Velez, Carmen R. Rios ( B45 ) - Eunice Kritsidimas ===================================== Haplogroup C ----------------- -Variants- C, C1b11, C1C, C1b2, C1b4 ( C ) - Desiree Lemieux-Murphy, Danny Nieves, Alfredo Mercado Sr., Jeanie Marie Johnson, Michael Anthony Rivera, Maria Pulczinski, Rafael Enrique Gonzalez, Dimas Caban, Jr., Theresa Benincasa, Carmen Maria Pomales Ramos, Menachen Chaim, Judith Guzman Crespo, Eneida Nemecek, Roxanna Melendez, Gregory Sepulveda ( C1b11 ) - Venira Tossas Burgos, Carmen Leduc ( C1C ) - Vilma Montfort Anderson ( C1b2 ) - Martin Nieves Morales, John Emmanuel Gonzalez, Helen E. Fusaro, Carlos Blanco, Geraldine Perez, Wenceslao Mendez, Harold Antonio McAlllister, William Paul Vargas, Abraham Raymond Torres, Nicole Natale, Victor M. Robles Garcia, Jose Alexis Ramos ( C1b4 ) - Mercedes Santos, Ismael de Jesus, Rafael Andres Munoz ========================================================== Now with all that out there You can all see my Family is mostly haplogroups A & C from our mtDNA... and mostly from variants A, C & C1b2. In a case where you have C1b2 & C1b4 in your family like I do... JUST as an EXAMPLE if we said C1b2 were the Indigenous people of Puerto Rico ( Arawak, Taino, Igneri ) whichever you prefer....then C1b4 could be the Indigenous people of say the Dominican Republic. BUT its VERY IMPORTANT to grasp and understand that these 2 variants do NOT reflect the exact same genetic peoples....they are indeed different... some people describe these as markers . Though I have not been able to name these different variants in my family each one represents a DIFFERENT TRIBE... all stemming from Puerto Rico... and I provided the names to show You in what percentages the different tribes are showing up. Hope this helps the rest of You on your journeys... Our NATIVE blood is alive, and though IT DOES come from many Tribal sources...our Pride should remain the same!
