maternal haplogroup and X-DNA Comparison: is this likely a relation?
mtDNA and X-DNA mostly are not related.
If two persons share the same mtDNA haplogroup it just means that their common direct maternal ancestor lived ~10000 years ago (when this haplogroup was ...

They only test 885 SNP's though.
They also test 17,604 SNP's on the x chromosome (labeled as chromosome 23), plus 440 SNPs labeled as chromosome 25 that ...
