Mitochondrial DNA = cell body DNA inherited via the mother's mother's mother etc: haplogroup H with HVR1 mutations 16295T and 16519C This group evolved from the R group into the V, H, HV and RO groups about 30,000 years ago in the area of Croatiy and all migrated thence Katherine and Robert seem to have one or both of the following, which

Since my father's family reveals no hint of origins in Southeastern Europe, I expect this comes from my mother's side. As both her parents descend from Nathaniel Pope and the name looks neither Anglosaxon nor Norman nor Welsh nor Scottish but rather Greek I expect to find that the family appeared in England shortly after the fall of Constantinople. Of course, her mother's Norman ancestors also had a few Greek connections during the Crusades and earlier with the Carolingians and Merowingians as well as over other pre French, Italian and Spanish lines, so this will not come out, until comparisons have been made with other Pope relatives, for which a check with John Hopkins University Clinic is intended, as they have been compiling the American statistics. |
