Haplogroup N had additional mutations and
branchings. A woman classified as ‘Helena’ (meaning light in Greek) reportedly
marked the beginning of my mitochondrial branch or type: Haplogroup H. One of
the most famous of my Haplogroup H ancestors (that can be traced back to Bertha
Von Putelendorf who died 1190) is reported to be the French queen Marie
Antoinette—who, unfortunately, ‘lost her head.’ Because that family was quite
prolific, some others in Haplogroup H include Marie-Louise of Austria
(Napoleon’s wife), the Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna (wife of the last Russian
tsar Nicolas II), and Britain’s Queen Victoria. These are my maternal markers.
I’m not sure what these really mean yet—but some of you might.
