| Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup T 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.
In the trivia department, Russian
Tsar Nicholas II was Haplogroup T through his maternal grandmother,
Louisa of Hesse-Cassel, Queen of Denmark, and outlaw
Jesse JAMES was Haplogroup T2. |
So far, we have six Danish Demes project members who are some form
of Haplogroup T.
