 Haplogroup Helena – Helena's descendants are the most numerous in Europe, having started 20,000 years ago from a hunting family in the Dordogne region of southwest France. After the Ice Age her clan moved north, reaching Britain about 12,000 years ago. From Bennett Greenspan, President, Family Tree DNA, www.FamilyTreeDNA.com to John D-H

The 7 European Daughters of Eve http://www.duerinck.com/migrate.html

Prof. Sykes and Oxford University researchers in England have identified seven ancestral matriarchal groups from which all Europeans appear to be descended. Every European can trace his or her evolutionary history back to the seven ancestral mother groups, also referred to as the Seven European

Daughters of Eve. Sykes et al. obtained buccal cells from 6,000 individuals and analyzed the samples using the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.

It is known that mtDNA mutates at a very slow rate, such as 1 mutation in every 10,000 years. So they figured that the women would have lived between 8,000 and 45,000 years ago. What is amazing is that all seven of the genetic groups appear to be descended from the Lara clan, one of three clans that still exist today in Africa. This is called the African Eve theory. It was proposed in the late 1980's by Allan Wilson, Mark Stoneking and others. The African Eve theory states that all humans share a common African ancestor.

 The Seven European Daughters of Eve matriarchal groups correspond to Dr. Wallace's lineages above, and were given names by Prof. Sykes:

 Helena: This clan lived in the ice-capped Pyrenees. As the climate warmed, Helena’s descendants trekked northward to what is now England, some 12,000 years ago. Members of this group are now present in all European countries. (She lived at the mouth of the River Rhone 20,000 years ago, was the clan mother of 47% of modern Europeans.  http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~crrking/mills/mills_dnam.htm
