mtdna 4 marker match

["Erlinda Castanon-Long" <longsjourney@...>]

Hi Victor, how exciting to even think that someone from a small group 
like this could be a 4 marker match even if it happened a while back 
in time.. I find it amazing!!  I looked into the files but don't see 
your genealogy, are you posted here or anywhere else?  I have my 
maternal line on Ancestry family tree.  In a time reference I can only 
take my female line back to abt 1800 and know nothing before that.  My 
mother was Gutierrez, her mother Villanueva, her mother Mendez, her 
mother Fernandez and her mother Barbosa.. the line stops there. To be 
honest I was surprised to find this a native line since my mother was 
blond and blue eyed and her mother was extremely fair too. They were 
from Tamazula Jalisco but the Fernandez line may have come from 
somewhere else. I guess 200 years is nothing compared to a history in 
genetics that goes back 30,000 years.. but we have to start somewhere 
to find we all more alike than different. I did some reading and found 
that a few Eskimo bands, the Salish band here in Washinton and a tribe 
or two along the California coast line share the same group A, the 
group continues through Mexico and down into South America... sure a 
good case for migration.
Thank you for taking the time to share the information.
I guess that makes us primos.... sorta?
