Nearly Half Of Ashkenazi Jews Descended From Four 'Founding Mothers'

"ScienceDaily (Jan. 17, 2006) — Some 3.5 million or 40 percent of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from just four “founding mothers” who lived in Europe 1,000 years ago. The mothers were part of a small group who founded the Ashkenazi Jewish community, which was established in Europe as a result of migration from the Near East."

Do you know if they have identified a certain Haplogroup that identifies with the Ashkenazi Jews?
