Female H: Married to Robinson
Frank Hugh Robinson (Ydna R1b1b2 or R-M269) married Augusta Gustafson of Sweden. She is of H Haplogroup.
Frank and Augusta's son married Eleanor Kalkwarf, who is also an H. It covers a large territory. Eleanor was not from Sweden. I believe her line came from Hanover, Oldensburg, Germany.
This branch started about expanding about 20,000 years ago between France and Spain near what is now Perpignan. She belonged to a group of hunters who worked the oyster beds in lagoons of the Carmargue to supplement their meat. Helena's clan arrived in Europe from the Middle East, pushed their way along the Mediterranean.
We find that Augusta Gustafson's line from Sweden has only found 1.3% matching her with 16 matches out of 1,230 MTdna tests. 1.5% from Finland with 17 matches out of 1,150 tests, 1.1% from Switzerland out of 9 matches from 785 tests,
We find that Eeanor Kalkwarf's line from Germany has not found anyone 1% or better. The highest % found is.09% from Slovenia matching her with 1 out of 112 tests, .08% from Netherlands with 7 matches out of 850 tests, 0.8% from Czech Republic with 2 out of 495, and .07% from Bulgaria with 1 match out of 148 tests, .07% from Latvia with 1 Jewish Ashkenazi out of 149 tests, 0.7% from Poland with either 1 or 17 matches (?) out of 2,571 tests, and 0.7% from Wales with 4 matches out of 583 tests.
Specific mitochondrial haplogroups are typically found in different regions of the world, and this is due to unique population histories. In the process of spreading around the world, many populations—with their special mitochondrial haplogroups—became isolated, and specific haplogroups concentrated in geographic regions. Today, we have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and even particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to recent migration.Mitochondrial haplogroup H is a predominantly European haplogroup that originated outside of Europe before the last glacial maximum (LGM). It first expanded in the northern Near East and southern Caucasus between 33,000 and 26,000 years ago, and later migrations from Iberia suggest it reached Europe before the LGM. It has also spread to Siberia and Inner Asia. Today, about 40% of all mitochondrial lineages in Europe are classified as haplogroup H.
With further testing, H is broken down into subgroups such as H1, H1a, H1b, H2 etc.
Definition:
CRS (Cambridge Reference Sequence) Mitochondrion sequenced in 1981 became known as the CRS and has been used as a basis for comparison with our mtDNA. Where our mtDNA is difference from the CRS it is characterized as a difference or mutation.
Haplogroup: H H is a branch of the human genetic tree (Phylogenetic tree). It is tied to deep ancestry (think 10,000 or 10s of 1,000's of years).
HVR1 and HVR2 (HyperVariaable Region 1 & 2) Two sections or regions of mtDNA that are tested. Results used to determine a person's ethnic and geographic origins and look for possible common ancestry with other individuals.
mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) genetic stuff found in mitochondria passed down from females to both son and daughter, but sons can not pass down their mother's mtDNA.
mutation: a change in the gene or chromosome taking the form of a chemical rearrangement or a little loss or gain of genetic material.

Gustafson, Sweden=H with one difference from CRS: 16354 is a T.
Eleanor Kalkwarf=H with 4 differences from CRS: 16189=C, 16356=C, 16362=C, 16519=C
H for Helena: the most widespread and successful of the 7 daughters of Eve.
It's the largest group there is for females and is found almost everywhere.This branch started about expanding about 20,000 years ago between France and Spain near what is now Perpignan.

mtDNA Results for Robinson Wife from Sweden
Our mtDNA Results: H (16354T) for the female Mildred Goldfoot nee Robinson to her mother, Augusta Gustafson of Sweden to all the mothers back. H is for Helena: Haplogroup H is a branch of the mega-haplogroup F. H originated approximately 30,000 years ago in Eastern Africa. It spread to the Indian subcontinent and is found at high frequencies in India and Sri Lanka. It is also found in the Roma populations of Europe. Half of Europe's females are labeled H. Mildred's sister in law, Elinor who married her brother Edward Kenneth was also an H, but of course a little different as they were not from the same parts of Europe.
Frank Hugh Robinson b: 1870 in Wenona, Illinois married his 2nd wife, Augusta Gustafson in Sioux City, Iowa. We just had Augusta's mtDNA test result. She came from Sweden at age 18.
The mitrochondial dna which traces the female line of Mildred Robinson Goldfoot b: 1913-2005 to her mother, Augusta "Gustafva Johansson Gustafson" Robinson b: 1870-1955, and her mother in Sweden was Lisa Ersdotter, born in Backgarden, Lumsheden, Sweden in 1830-12-07 and died in 1891-01-17, and her mother was Brita Hansdotter b: 1806-1887, and her mother was Lisa Olsdotter b: 1766-1831 who was married to Erik Hansson, turned out to be H with the HVR1 as: 16 354T. This was done as a 12 allele test.
We already know that our grandmother's family came from Lumsheden, Sweden, a village in Northern Sweden. About half of Europe's women bear this H haplogroup. The differences show up in the HVR1.Men carry both Ydna from their fathers and mtDNA from their mothers. They can be tested for both, which is what we did. David was able to be tested. Women can only be tested for the mtdna, so if you have a brother, have him tested for both. Whereas the male line mutates at a faster speed, the female line does not. It only mutates once every 10,000 years.
H stands for Helena. The book, The Seven Daughters of Eve presents the seven types of Haplogroups for the female line. Helena was born about 20,000 ago on land between France and Spain. She belonged to a family of hunters who harvested oysters to supplement their diet of meat. We arrived in Europe from the Middle East. We reached England about 12,000 years ago after the Ice Age. Read http://www.duerinck.com/migrate.html .The prevailing thought is that we are all related through our mothers. Professor Bryan Sykes at Oxford University has identified seven women who lived thousands of years ago from whom almost every native European is directly descended through the maternal line.Our Swedish H came from Lumsheden Village, Svardsjo Parish, Kopparbergs Ian, Sweden. I've traced the female line to 1766 so far in this village.
