An update on the mitotree

 

FTDNA.

Back in September 2025, cousin Catherine received her initial mtDNA result and a place on the mitotree. This gave us a haplogroup for our shared maternal line ancestor Maria Jesus Vasquez. At the time, FTDNA's results showed a most recent common ancestor for this line was 850 BCE. The haplogroup recently updated, and now shows a most recent common maternal line ancestor dating to around 600 CE. 

The haplogroup should update again once the mtDNA kit for our cousin Joe is processed. He is also a descendant of Maria Jesus Vasquez from her daughter Maria Jesus Campuzano.

According to the discover report, this haplogroup migrated from the Athabaskan-speaking lands of Pacific Northwest Canada into northern Mexico.
