Here is an article about John Iron Moccasin, I match him through mitochondrial DNA, but it is at 4 generations. Certainly! When using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for genealogical research, there are a few important points to consider:
Inheritance Pattern:
mtDNA is passed from a mother to all of her children.
Daughters pass it to the next generation.
Sons do not pass their mtDNA to their children.
The inheritance pattern ensures that mtDNA remains relatively stable over generations.
Common Ancestor Identification:
Even when the full mitochondrial sequence is an exact match, there is still a 50% chance that your common ancestor is more than five generations back.
There’s also a 10% chance that the ancestor is more than sixteen generations back.
A more complete maternal lineage increases the likelihood of identifying an mtDNA connection1.
Testing and Confidence:
Comprehensive mtDNA tests provide better chances of finding a common ancestor within a genealogical time frame.
An exact match on a full mtDNA sequence suggests a common ancestor in the last 22 generations (approximately 550 years) with 95% confidence.
For a 50% confidence level, the common ancestor could be within the last 5 generations (around 125 years).
I tested my mitochondrial DNA through Family Tree DNA.
The Hererra family is the family probable the family from New Mexico that you've mentioned I have only one Y DNA of a descendant of Smoke from American Horse I thought I had a Nale descendant of Blue Horse, but his name is from his mother side. So the test was pointless. Eventually I believe I will find someone to test to confirm the Y-DNA Most Lakota men are Q-Z780 SAME AS THE Clovis child.
