Subject: Re: [DNA] New mtDNA FGS results -- H4a1a

Yes, FTDNA reported the results as H4a1a. There is at least one other
member of the H4 subclade project with that designation as well. I know what
you mean about their seeming caution in H1. My own FGS was classified H1 by
FTDNA though it probably deserves an asterisk. There are downstream clades
in which I am not numbered.

I knew as soon as I mentioned mitomap that I was inviting comment about
inexact comparisons. You are correct that nothing in the mitomap chart
invites classification of the sort I was discussing. But I did note that
10044 seems to show up in a couple of different places in the H4 clump, and
I thought the situation invited further analysis.
