 The Acadian Amerindian Ancestry, the A haplogroup, and the A2 haplogroup projects with Family Tree DNA have registered the new, matching A2f1a1b haplogroup for matrilineal (mother-line) descendants of Anne Marie Mi'kmaq. The A2f1a1b mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup, to which matrilineal descendants of Anne Marie MI'kmaq now belong, is a brand new sub-branch of the A2f1a parent haplogroup. The refined, A2f1a1b mtDNA haplogroup designation adds to what we know about our connections to history and to each other, helps to distinguish Anne Marie Mi'kmaq's descendants from other lineages, and results from the latest, mitochondrial DNA "Tree of Humankind" update of March, 2025 (presently in BETA test).
