This blog has dealt with the JONES surname. In most cases, those who share this surname are not Y-chromosome connected. If you know your DNA, and would like to share it on this blog, please place it in a comment to this post. Give what information you would like, and I will then make a post of this JONES family, and hopefully this will provide a way to make connections.

Hello George. We share the same haplotype R1b1a2. Can you explain what the 17-14-10 Welsh Group is? Do you know what county in VA William was located in 1740s? Griffith, Jenkins, and Evans are all good Welsh names!
