Janice, I thought I would post my exchange with Robert Stafford on DNA GenForum (the links posted below):
http://genforum.genealogy.com/dna/messages/3594.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/dna/messages/3594.html
Recently GeneTree unlocked my SMGF mtDNA results. I have printed out the report given with the results but I am wondering how, or if, the results reflect on present time...........
My mother was a REAVES, Reaves' mother was a GRAHAM, Graham's mother was an ARNET. There has been speculation that there is American Indian heritage in the Reaves lineage. Would the Haplogroup U, Subgroup U5 eliminate that possibility? Would it make any difference at all in determining American Indian or no American Indian?
Would any certain nationalities be eliminated? Or is it possible to ascertain such from this type of test?
What are the data bases available for entering my mtDNA results from GeneTree? I did SMGF with no matches.
Thanks very much for any answers. Linda McKee
In case it might help to answer my query I am posting results as follows:
16192 T
16270 T
73 G
150 T
199 C
263 G
309.1 C
309.2 C
315.1 C

Robert Stafford answered my inquiry and a thread follows this on DNA Forum with more info:

The results preclude an Indian in the all-female line. You can test all lines at http://www.23andMe.comhttp://www.23andMe.com. However, the test can detect admixture only in fairly recent generations.
You can enter your results at http://www.mitosearch.orghttp://www.mitosearch.org. However, the resolution of the test is too low to be of any genealogical value. The common ancestor of matches may have lived thousands of years ago
