SNGF - Who's Your Mama?

I haven't played along with Saturday Night Genealogy Fun over at Randy Seaver's place GeneaMusings in like ages. But this is one I can easily accomplish.

If you want to party with the SNGF gang this week, then here is your task:

1) List your matrilineal line - your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!

2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you are in.
