Hi, I had my mtDNA done last autumn, then had it refined to find out I am H3. This is most prevalent in the Iberian Peninsula. This is a very interesting find, as my mom's roots on the female side have been traced back to the Beanes of Upper Marlborough, Md and I was not ablt to get her linage back further on the maternal line.
