Looking for Haplogroup J means 16069[T] and 16126[C]
[ Ref http://www.oxfordancestors.com/faqs.htm ]
If I look in the concordance
http://shelob.bioanth.cam.ac.uk/mtDNA/hvr1b.html
I went to the section for 16069[T}
and I counted all the entries found that had 16126[C]
Which comes out to be about 50
If I am right those are the known [to the concordance] J haplotypes
To get a course match at FTDNA you would not only match
the J part of 16069[T] and 16126[C] but any other mutations they found [if
any]
The full set will define one's HVR1 haplotype.
As you point out we do not yet have ALL the mutations
and new ones are found with every study.
So we do not know how big that 50 may grow to
I doubt it will grow to 500 so I believe I am within a factor of 10
I base this on the number of times I see people asking the group about
an haplotype not found in the concordance
Granted not scientific and only anecdotal
