Private User says "FTDNA are so keen to move this forward, that they are offering free MtDNA tests to anyone directly descended from Hendrina Steenkamp
I'm also still trying to find her parentage, & wondering if anyone has directly (female line) descended from Margaretha Steenkamp 1715-60, & married to Floris Smit/Smith had a mitochondrial test done..This could confirm or exclude that line of ancestry..."

She has the most unique mitochondrial DNA lineage ever found in a living person.

Please see article: https://blog.familytreedna.com/ancient-human-lineage-rediscovered/?...
"For example, one single L7 sequence (L7a*) that traces roots to South Africa is 80,000 years apart from all other L7s discovered! That is the most unique mitochondrial DNA lineage ever found in a living person."

Floris Smit's father Jacobus Smit is my 7th great-grandfather - according to ancestry he is my 6th great-granduncle, but I am guessing you want to test the Steenkamp line rather than the Smit one?
