Estimates of continental ancestry vary widely among individuals with the same mtDNA haplogroup.

American journal of human genetics - 5 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

The association between a geographical region and an mtDNA haplogroup(s) has provided the basis for using mtDNA haplogroups to infer an individual's place of origin and genetic ancestry. Although it is well known that ancestry inferences using mtDNA haplogroups and those using genome-wide markers are frequently discrepant, little empirical information exists on the magnitude and scope of such discrepancies...
