I have a N9a and N1c in Behar's mtDNA Ashkenazi
samples. The haplotype for N9a is: 129, 223, 257A,
261, 73, 146, 150, 263.
For N1c, it is: 145, 223, 265, 519, 73, 189, 195, 204,
207, 263.
No D's, but there are five M*s: 111, 223, 235, 362,
519, 73, 263 (one has 199).
Notable is the fact that all of these are found within
Eastern European Ashkenazim only, suggesting admixture
with non-Jewish Eastern Europeans or perhaps origins
among the same Central Asian groups.
