There’s a new project at Family Tree devoted to mtDNA Haplogroup B2.
B2 is one of the four major matrilineal Native American lineages.
And the only one that stretches across the Pacific Ocean to embrace Polynesia and areas as far a field as Madagascar.

I have created this project because I have found so little research on this fascinating lineage. Today there are more questions than answers.

Just what is the connection between the peoples of the Americas and that of Oceania? Was America peopled from Southeast Asia via the Pacific Isles? Someday this incredible journey maybe fully documented, and understood. This project is one humble step in that direction. A shout at the Eurocentric Genetic establishment, that we’re not white, but we matter, we want our ancestry researched, too.
I’ve written to journals and asked them to write investigative articles on this important lineage, but have not received responses.

If you’re mtDNA Haplogroup B2 I invite you to add your test results to this new project. Let the Ivy League geneticists in their ivory towers know we are here, we care, we spend, we are a force to be reckoned with. Ignore B2 at your own peril!
