The first time I have paid major attention to anything related to associations between rhesus negative blood and haplogroups, was when I have noticed the changes over the millennia within the Basque population.
49% of today’s Basque population has mtDNA H. The frequencies of mtDNA J and K are low now, they also were 1,500 years ago, but they were way higher 5,000 years ago. Talking 18-24% frequencies each.
While over the millennia, major changes in mtDNA frequencies in Europe have taken place, we have not seen complete replacements of previously dominant haplogroup by previously absent ones as we have in many y-DNA examples showing invasions including the killing of men and mating with the women of the fallen.
When looking at mtDNA frequencies among the Yamnaya, we notice that both, no change as major in y-DNA changes had taken place, yet a significant increase of mtDNA H and major decrease of mtDNA T1 and T2 since then have taken place.

According to 23andme.com my maternal halplogroup is H3f. I’m B negative.
I’m mtDna haplo group H and A- as is my mother and her mother as well.
I’m H17 🙂
May date back to Balkanic Bronze Age (c. 4,500 to 3,200 ybp ; Southeast Europe)
Cardos et al. (2004) analysed the mitochondrial DNA from 5 Bronze-age individuals from Southeast Romania. Only a few HVR-1 mutations were successfully identified, which is not enough to determine unambiguously their haplogroups. The first specimen had the mutation 16129C. Assuming that no other HVR-1 mutation is missing due to incomplete sequencing or damaged DNA, this would fit haplogroup H17. The second individual had the mutations 16186T, 16189C and 16299T, which could be either H1a or H39 with two private mutations. The next person carried mutation 16129A and 16223T, which could also be haplogroup H1j or H17 with a private mutation, or even HV4a2 with 16221 missing. The fourth sample had only 16145A, which defines H22 with 16227 (it could therefore be “pre-H22”). The last sample had the common 16311C mutation, which if it is the only difference from the CRS would correspond to H2b, but is also found in subclades of H3, H6, H11, H13, and all subclades from HV6 to HV11. In conclusion, if all the HVR region was thoroughly tested and didn’t miss any mutation (a big ‘if’), then all the samples probably belonged to various subclades of H. However missing several mutations, they could belong to almost anything.

How to detect my haplogroups ?
Pick a genetic testing company. But be careful: Some won’t tell you your haplogroups. Feel free to search through this blog as I have previously reviewed some of them and also shared some insights as to what you can expect from each.
We went with 23andme and I can tell you the company is sorely lacking in the DNA info it puts out. It seems to be far more interested in getting people to pay them money and for the people to then provide them with data that they use to make even more money. I questioned them about the lack of any information regarding RH negative and they said that isn’t something they do. Excuse me but the RH factor is an incredibly important part of what makes up our DNA. I don’t recommend 23andme and from what I’ve seen from “relatives” there, I have no idea why they signed up. They use phony names and rarely does anyone respond to questions about relatives and ancestors. When I contacted 23andme about the lack of information about my RH negative blood they informed me that isn’t something the company is interested in.
My maternal haplogroup is H17
I am B-
Mine too, and I’m A-
Hi my Maternal is T1a1 and I know for a fact that my mom was RH negative. They advised her to stop having children after my sister was born. She had three children, all of us had positive blood types, so with each pregnancy things got worse.
I am 1% Basque
My blood-type is 0- (Rh-)
I belong to mtDNA haplogroup V19
My mtDNA haplogroup is K.
I’m A-
I’m 54% Swedish
Haplogroup K originated in West Asia between 20,000 and 38,000 years ago.Present in farming from the early Neolithic,Near East and among Early European farmers, Haplogroup K’s spread during the Bronze Age led to migration patterns venturing into Germanic countries and Central Asia. Today mtDNA K is particularly common in Northern Europe.
My Haplogroup is R , Eve (MT) – Which is one of the oldest still existing haplogroups – 66,800 years ago – this group generated the 6 most common European haplogroups H,V,J,T,U,K as well as one Asian/Native American haplogroup B . ( N & L3) Diana, Princess of Wales also in this haplogroup – just an FYI 🙂
Haplogroup H1ag – and I am O- , my various dna admixture tests always flag for “Basque” as well.
“The frequencies of mtDNA J and K are low now, they also were 1,500 years ago, but they were way higher 5,000 years ago. Talking 18-24% frequencies each.“
It could be important to recognize that the 18-24% frequencies would likely be the percentage of Basque human female remains from 5000 years ago that have been found and tested, rather than the percentage of the whole Basque female population (likely unknown) of 5000 years ago.
So, does anyone know how many actual Basque female human remans from 5000 years ago have been tested for maternal DNA? That number is likely quite small.
It is impossible that all Basque females from 5000 years ago have been exhumed and tested such as to give a definitive accurate percentage of maternal DNA J and K in that female population in that era. Otherwise the 18-24% J and K (of entire 5000 yr ago Basque female population) is merely a questionable and extremely unscientific guess, based on a very small number of testable and tested remains.
Does anyone know the whole female Basque population of 5000 years ago?
Does anyone know the actual territory controlled by Basque people 5000 years ago, such that a population of Basque women could even be determined?
I think not.
B negative and Hv1b
B Negative and I’m and H1e2
I’m 0 – and DNA is T1a
I think the T’s are more ancient Basques. I know nothing just read something
I am B – my haplogroup is H1e2
My maternal haplogroup is H2a3. My mother and father were both RH negative and I am A–. 23andme doesn’t say anything about RH negative, the basque region, etc. where I had thought I had ancestors from. I have seen where H2a5 comes from the Basque region but I don’t know what that means in comparison with H2a3 or how the 2 groups are or aren’t related? The 23andme map shows no ancestors in Spain at all and a tiny amount of DNA from central France (possibly). 23andme does say H2a3 is an uncommon haplogroup (1 in 1200). Anyway, I’m trying to figure out the link to RH negative blood, one of the reasons I got in 23andme and that turned out to be a waste of money.
I am O- of Irish/Scot/English recent descent and have been able to trace my ancestry to 30AD in Nazareth . My mother was O-. My maternal haplogroup is H3b4. I used Genebase DNA ancestry project. I also had testing done through Ancestry. They both seem to give more information than 23andme.
My father and his father were RH negative. I am RH negative, as is my brother. I have 2 sons, one is RH negative. He has one son and 4 daughters. Two of the daughters are RH negative.
My paternal haplogroup is J2 (actually J-FTE57601)(taken from my brother’s DNA Y test) .
Maternal is H1b3
