Our Ancestors From Minoa (Ancient Crete, Greece)

"it's interesting to note that one of the Minoan mtDNA sequences belonged to the rare H13a1a haplogroup."   

(H13a1a is the mtDNA of Edna Anderson and all of her female ancestors and descendants on the female line. I like it that we are rare. And I like it that we or at least our ancient cousins were in Minoa, which is Crete, Greece.  I was there three years ago and really like it.  Now, how they got to Norway is a mystery, but they were a nautical people.)

"Both 
H13a1a and R1b were recently found in late Neolithic Bell Beaker remains from Germany (see here and here). Moreover, today H13a1a shows a peak in frequency and diversity in the Caucasus, particularly in Dagestan, but also occurs at low frequencies in Italy, Sardinia and Iberia."

H13a1a in Minoa and Norway

Some background on the H13a1a MtDNA Haplogroup which is shared by Louise Liffengren and all of the women in her maternal line and their children.

The articles indicate that it was a lineage in Minoa, one of the world's first civilizations in Crete, Greece, before travelling to western Europe and Norway.
