Actually it looks like John Rhodes may be the source of Kathy's comment
about Eastern Europe. He said his results told him his sister has H2a,
"primarily from Eastern Europe".

John, did mtDNA happen to supply any further details, source information, or
the name of the person who wrote up your report, and what company was it?

Also, John, I'd like to see the particular set of markers they attributed to
Eastern Europe. Can you please tell me which markers yours are - and I
don't care if you post them or send them privately. Your mitosearch ID
won't really help me unless you put your coding region markers in your notes
section (which is what I did). H2a is defined entirely by coding region
markers.

Does HVR2 315.1C itself demarcate a particular subclade of H2a? CRS at
HVR1 and HVR2 is unusually common in H2 at I get 8% based on Mitosearch.
The overall numbers are low, and teh entire classification confused, so that
a higher proportion of nine people at H2 and H2* have CRS at HVR1 and HVR2,
then in either H2a or H2b, however those are being defined, where teh rate
is 6%in each category, with a total of 54 people. Now, consistently with
what Kathy is saying, H1b has 51 people and 8% have both HVR1 and HVR2 equal
to the CRS.

Haplotypes with CRS at both HVR1 and HVR2 are spread out at low levels of up
to 3% across all haplogroups, and it also seems to be particularly common
in U1 and R1, which means you can't just assume that CRS at HVR1 and HVR 2
is haplogroup H.

Yours,
