This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Jones and its variants. The hope is that researchers (like you!) will join our study to help make it a more valuable reference point for people studying their Jones pedigrees. This study is in conjunction with our Jones Y-DNA project, our Jones atDNA (autosomal) project, and our legacy one name (Jones) study website.

Please feel free to add categories and/or new details to your profiles, add questions to the JONES bulletin board, etc.

I might be interested in learning more about and joining the Jones project. My gg was a Jones. I haven't dug into the line much at this point, but certainly is on my "to-do" list. I've taken atDNA too, so I might be able to participate in DNA projects.
Hi - My Jones family goes back to the Revolutionary War and they were Tories. At the end of the war they fled to Canada and my branch eventually went to Nova Scotia. Just before the turn of the 20th century they started to move back to the U.S., although many of them still reside in Nova Scotia.

I would like to join the Jones Project. I am at a dead end with my 3rd gr. grandfather, Manuel Washington Jones, born about 1825 in (probably) Alabama, lived in Tippah Co., Mississippi, and died after 1910 in Red River Co., Texas. He married Elizabeth Little. On his censuses, he said his parents were born in Alabama. His son was John Washington Jones, and his son was Roy Britton Jones, both of Lamar County, Texas. I have added them all to WikiTree.

Stephen (Steve) Jones. Born and brought up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. My paternal ancestors have travelled no more than 30 miles in the last 250 years or so living in Overton, Flintshire in Wales and Ellesmere and Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Typical rural folk but working as Painters, Plasterers, Slaters and Tilers on the Jones side of the family with marriages bringing in Welsh genes from Denbighshire too. All reasonably normal but my Y-DNA is J-L26, not very common amongst Joneses or in the UK, so either... a non-parental-event and I'm not really a Jones or my DNA has links much further back to earlier occupiers of the Welsh borders - I'd really like to know either way.

Looking for James w jones born in Tennessee or Missouri between 1812-1816 married Elizabeth L Meadors in Arkansas about 1840
posted by Pam Jones
Were you able to find a connection? My maiden name is Jones. The Jones' moved to Missouri from Davidson County Tennessee in the 1830's. I know some of the family went into Arkansas but I haven't followed that line. But they certainly liked using and re-using the name James! Makes it hard to put the correct James in the right family!

Looking for Jones with connections to Hope, Flintshire Wales or Holywell, Flintshire Wales. My mysterious grandmother was Mary Cecily Jones, b. Oct. 13 @1894. She said she was born in Wales, around Mold or Aberveganny or maybe even in Worchestershire, England. She had a brother Joseph David Jones, born Apr 24, 1886 in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. She emigrated to USA in 1911. On her marrige application in USA she said her father was John Jones and Mother Hannah Cross. Her son, my dad, used to say she used to shave years off her age, had a half sister Beatrice, and that John was a sexton or vicar and was her stepfather. His last name was either Jones or Thompson and she used both last names in her life. There is a John C. Jones in her daily devotional, born Jan. 15 (no year).

I would like to join the Jones Project. Obviously my name is Jones and I've traced my line back to the late 1600's in Ayrshire Scotland.

I want to join the Jones research. PVT John Jones was my husband's 6th great grandfather. We're trying to confirm who his father really was. Please help!!!!

Hey Amber - if you want to connect with Jones researchers on your question, then my advice is to join the Jones Facebook group and make a post on Hazel Lorene Jones there. There are several active Jones genealogy researchers in the group. Also - provide as much information as you have on her parents and any other Jones relatives, as Jones from Texas and Nebraska is a huge set of possibilities.

Hazel Lorene jones is my maternal grandmother I’ve never met. Born July 1, 1939. She married a William vandecar in Texas. Her parents from Texas. Last known Nebraska. Help?
