Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup T, popularly known as "Clan Tara," originated in the Middle East some 45,000 years ago and entered Europe about 10,000 years ago where today it has an overall frequency of about 9%.  The clan was originally concentrated in northwestern Italy, but is now numerous along the Mediterranean and western shores of the continent and the west of Britain and Ireland.

We have four project members who are Haplogroup T:

T1 (n = 2) T2b (n = 1) T5 (n = 1)
T5 is a rare subclade with its greatest frequency being just 1.2%, in Norway.

In the trivia department:  Russian Tsar Nicholas II was Hg T through his maternal grandmother, Louisa of Hesse-Cassel, Queen of Denmark.  Outlaw Jesse JAMES was T2. (Your project admin is T1, but my matrilineal line is English, so I'm a member of Danish Demes based only on my father's Danish patrilineal ancestry.)
The Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS) is arbitrarily designated as the standard against which all mtDNA sequences are compared, and subject test results are expressed as differences from the CRS.  The CRS happens to be negative for the 519C mutation, which is otherwise very common, so the majority of tested individuals will have this mutation listed in the HVR1 region.
In the table below, a darkened empty cell means the test was not ordered.  All HVR1 marker designations begin with "16___"; so, to save space and improve readability, I've dropped the 16 in the tables.  With regard to results, a letter in red indicates a mutation (a base has changed); a letter in green indicates a new base has been inserted; a minus sign (-) indicates a base has been lost.
With regard to lineages, given names and patronymics are shown as Initial Caps, while surnames are shown in ALL-CAPS (these are the womens' maiden names, not their married names).
Your project admin recommends uploading your mtDNA results to MitoSearch.org, which can be done at your FTDNA member page (on the "mtDNA Matches" tab).

126C, 169Y, 294T, 296T 73G, 263G, 315.1C Tsar Nicholas ROMANOV II (1868-1918) of Russia
At Location 16169, Nicholas has what's known as a heteroplasmy, meaning that more than one genetic type occurs among his mitochondria.  His brother, Grand Duke Georgij ROMANOV, and his cousin, Count Nicholai TRUBETSKOY, share the same haplotype, including the heteroplasmy.

#N29988 has a rare haplotype with no matches in the FTDNA database.  Your project admin recommends uploading results to MitoSearch to improve the odds of making a match.
