Jones DNA
I call this Jones DNA because my mother was born a Jones. The mtDNA or maternal DNA stays basically the same as it is passed directly from the mother to her daughter who passes the same DNA to her daughter who passes it on to her daughter and it continues on . The maternal DNA is also passed from mother to son but it stops there the son does not pass on maternal DNA to his children . Our maternal line that I can traced on paper starts with Malissa Hoke Coburn her daughter Lulu Coburn Cable Miller her Daughter Vina Cable Jones. Vina passed it to her daughters Mildred, Mary And Alice Jones, they passed it to their Daughters and so on. That is the best I can do to explain it. The rest below is from Family Tree DNA that is the company where I had my DNA tested.
The Results,
T2b6b
THE basic science:
The mtDNA test can be used for testing females or males, but only females can pass their mtDNA on to their children. The mtDNA test uses information from the mitochondria, which is the material that surrounds the chromosomes. mtDNA is passed from a mother to her children, essentially unchanged. (If there were no changes, each person would have exactly the same mtDNA as "Eve" and with each other.) This test is only useful in testing the participant's mother's mother's .... mother's line. As this line changes names every generation, it is relatively difficult to track more than a few generations through genealogy. All people who share the same "common ancestor" will carry essentially the same mtDNA and receive tests results that are also essentially the same. From Family Tree DNA
The report shows that on this line we are of English descent . We had 32 matches (and growing) with other people that were tested 8 of them being exact matches. I have exchanged emails with several of these people and we can all track our roots to Tennessee where Malissa Hoke was born but we have not been able to connect any persons yet. Also we share some of the same mtDNA as Tsar Nicholas Romanov The last Tsar Of Russia And The outlaw Jesse James . We are a closer match to Jessee with only one number being different.
Some of Jesse's Maternal Ancestors came from Tennessee And so did our Malissa Hoke so I would think that is where the relationship comes in. But some how we are related to both.
The mitochondrial haplogroup T2b6b is best characterized as a European lineage. With an origin in the Near East greater than 45,000 years ago, the major sub-lineages of haplogroup T entered Europe around the time of the Neolithic 10,000 years ago. Once in Europe, these sub-lineages underwent a dramatic expansion associated with the arrival of agriculture in Europe. Haplogroup T2 is one of the older sub-lineages and may have been present in Europe as early as the Late Upper Palaeolithic. From Familytreedna

In 1995, the infamous outlaw, Jesse James' body was exhumed for DNA testing. Samples of hair and other fragments from his first burial site at his home were also recovered and sampled, along with mtDNA samples extracted from two living James' relatives. All samples resulted in a perfect match, thus concluding that the body in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, is indeed that of Jesse James. The American outlaw Jesse James has been shown to be of subclade T2.
Nicholas II of RussiaThe last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, has been shown to be of Haplogroup T, specifically subclade T2 (Ivanov 1996). Assuming all relevant pedigrees are correct, this includes all female-line descendants of his female line ancestorBarbara of Celje (1390-1451), wife of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. This includes a great number of European nobles, including George I of Great Britain and Frederick William I of Prussia (through the Electress Sophia of Hanover), Charles I of England, George III of the United Kingdom, George V of the United Kingdom, Charles X Gustav of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, Olav V of Norway, andGeorge I of Greece. Many European royals have been found to be of this mtDNA Haplogroup.
The Romanovs,The Last Russian Royal Family
In July 1991, nine bodies were exhumed from a shallow grave just outside Ekaterinburg, Russia. Circumstantial evidence, along with mitochondrial DNA sequencing and matches, gave strong evidence to the remains being those of the Romanovs, the last Russian Royals who were executed on July 18, 1918. The following sequences for Tsar Nicholas II, his cousin, Count Nicholai Trubetskoy, Tsarina Alexandra, and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, are taken from Bryan Sykes book, "The Seven Daughters of Eve."Haplo mtDNA Sequence.

Haplogroups: Fortunately, there are random and subtle changes that allow us to see differences in different "genetic families". Using these differences, scientists have been able to group all people into major branches called "Haplogroups". These can be arranged into a "family tree of woman" that shows the different branches that have separated over 1000s and 10,000s of years. Each person today can be assigned to a Haplogroup, which tells her (or him) their "deep ancestry". Haplogroup are determined by looking at mutations.
