Mitochondrial haplotype U2, subclade U2e1e

[ahayes]

I have just been allocated to this haplotype. Unfortunately the U2 group administrators at Family tree DNA do not seem to be answering their emails. Can anybody recommend any good resources that explore the significance of this sub-clade?

It's actually quite difficult to find reliable resources on the different haplogroups. I believe U2 is quite rare. Here are two pages that might help:

Hi Welcome  to Rootschat.

Funny enough I have just been reading about U2 MTdna AND  it was on a post on
Rootschat.  Seemingly, a family in Leeds called the Crowthers have that for their
females   Cant remember all of the title of the post but they have been on talking
about their name for nearly 2 years now.  Crowthers of Stainbeck St, Leeds or something like that.
Try having a search for them you should be able to find them from all of that.
I have just done my mtDNA and mine is H1.  What I liked about that was finding out
I was from the 4th daughter of Eve and her name was Helena.  Very interesting 

Hope you find your information.  I found out about my H1 on g o o g l e

regards Sandymc
