This Mother's Day, I'm giving a shout out to my direct female line ancestors. These are the women from whom I received my mitochondial DNA (mtDNA) or "female DNA".
My mtDNA haplogroup is I2, a subclade of haplogroup I, sometimes called "IRIS". Haplogroup I is one of the older mtDNA haplogroups in Europe and it's relatively rare. My mtDNA is part of the mtDNA Haplogroup I Project at Family Tree DNA.
Happy Mother's Day, "Iris"!
