DID you do the Male DNA or the MtDNA Mike? Are you comparing apples or oranges or male to female here? If the male, they are more relevant -in fact, much more relevant than female Mt DNA testing which is worthless for genealogy research unless one is too stupid to figure out that light skinned peoples came from Europe and eventually from England. I can tell you FREE Of CHARGE that due to your last name, your ancestors probably came from England unless you are Black and then they probably came from Africa! I can also tell you that the name HILL on blacks is probably due to slavery days when they took the name of their masters. That is much more information than you would get from the MtDNA tests.

Helen: Most family researchers and DNA participants aren't interested in all the ancient human origin things you are mentioning. They are more interested in simply connecting families, which enables them to exchange research, prove or disprove the traditional data they have, and learn more.
