Need help with mtDNA projects

How are we showing the haplogroups on Geni profiles?

There at projects for many of the haplogroups, both mtDNA and yDNA. If we don't have a project we can create one.

Until Geni gives us some DNA fields we just add the profile to the right project.

Thanks Justin. I'm adding a Curator note including the mtDNA Haplogroup of the South African Progenitor grannies, while it is still a short piece of data - but in the long-run, here's hoping Geni gives a box on the profiles.

Hi Justin, I just received my mtDNA results from FamilyTree DNA, and cannot find my 'haplogroup' in any projects on Geni. I am looking for U2e2a1-4. I read that this is a rare and ancient line and I would love to find more info and family members that match. Thanks! Paula

@ Justin .. hi.. long times since ouer last conver. about kilts " rember" ?. Just saw these lines about DNA... hmm. how does it works??? ... When I forex. order an full DNA test.. can I be sure that I get an ALL-ROUND or is it always to a, forex. a King. OR how does it go..???? Chrissie

Justin Durand I have had a MtDNA test done from Family Tree DNA. My matriarchal 7th grandmother was Barbara van de Caap https://www.geni.com/people/Barbara-van-de-Caap so this mtDNA might help establish her own ancestry which is Haplogroup L0d. How does one go about making a record of this on Geni? I am not familiar with the process or protocols of this.

Private User - Barbara van de Caap, SM/PROG is a South African mtDNA progenitor, who was a slave. I've got a number of SA mtDNA projects going, so your DNA result is much welcomed. I'll send you collaboration requests for 'SA mtDNA Female Progenitors': https://www.geni.com/projects/South-African-mtDNA-Female-Progenitor... and 'DNA Mapping of the Slave Routes to Southern Africa:' https://www.geni.com/projects/DNA-Mapping-of-the-Slave-Routes-to-So... to which we can add her.
I’ll also add the Haplogroup in a Curator note on her profile.

Sharon Doubell Thank you Sharon! Apparently her haplogroup, L0d, L0d2 and L0d2c are Khoisan. Other than that, its all incomprehensible to me. ;) Thanks for your help.

So exciting - one of the oldest mtDNA Haplogroups there is! THis is the project: https://www.geni.com/projects/L0-mtDNA/22434. I've added her, and sent you a Collaboration request.

Sharon Doubell I was very excited to get this information. It opens up a whole new facet of my ancestry! Thanks again, Sharon for all your help. I hope it will be a help for her other descendants to know her origins.

So fantastically helpful. Thank you for sharing it.

Is there any chance that the progenitors be put into alphabetical order? It would be so much quicker to find them. Just a librarian asking!

Charlette Louise Hoppe, on the SA mtDNA? As far as I know, they are. By surnames. If somebody has misplaced, everyone is allowed to edit so you can order them if you like.

PS: when you link or load your DNA to Geni, it would show on your profile witch Haplogroup you are, but if you click on that " Haplogroup " on you profile, it would take you to a Geni initiated project for that group, so you and your profile and all your relatives that link to that group trough you are automatically linked to that project.

If you select to join the project, you are immediately a collaborator in the project.
I wanted to leave such a project that I'm not actually linked to, but Geni told me : "You do not have permission to remove users from that project."

I know its going to be a big task, but perhaps we must migrate over to the Geni projects sooner than later. Before others start on those projects and then having duplicate projects.
If we do it now, we can copy all the info over to the blank Geni projects and then abandon/delete the self created projects.

I know for the old and settled projects its going to be a huge task, but for some its going to be a breeze.

I have moved a few of my Y dna projects

H11 (Mitochondrial DNA) <= this is a Geni initiated project
H11 (mtDNA) <= this is not

C, can you post the links to both?

Hi, can a project be created for https://www.geni.com/projects/mt-H13a2b1/36316

Currently only 2 tested people - they are Sephardic Jews from Baghdad.

Leanne, we're hoping to go the other direction -- to gradually eliminate and consolidate the old DNA projects in favor of using and updating the projects automatically generated by Geni.

Hi,
If I have a look , it looks like it is a Geni project.
Private User you must go to actions and join the project and just start it.
Then you go to the 2 persons tested and invite them to the project. They should be in the profile of the project if their DNA has been uploaded.
