Haplogroup Group H11a2a1
The author’s matrimonial line traces back to Grace Campbell. On February 29 2016, the maternal haplogroup for the author James Retson was identified as H11a2a1. As mitochondria DNA is only passed down through the mother's eggs, the following mother line would most likely bear the same haplogroup as would all individuals who can trace their mother's mother etc. up to one of theses women:
Grace Elizabeth Atkinson born 11 Dec 1916, In Waskada, Manitoba, died 04 Jun 2008 in Truro Nova Scotia Esther Jane “Jean” Burns born 26 July 1886 in Neepawa, Manitoba, d. 11 Feb 1961 in Vancouver BC
Jane McNab born 6 November 1858 d. 1941 in Regina, Saskatchewan Grace Campbell b. 12 Aug 1831 in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, d, 23 Apr 1923 in Neepawa, 2
Manitoba Margaret Annison Roddick born 21 Sep 1804 in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, died 24 Mar 1861 in Middlebie Dumfriesshire, Scotland Janet Armstrong born 1779 in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, died 15 Apr 1816 in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland
Tentatively identified Agnes McCormack Freeman b 1791 in Dumfries Scotland
