New Jersey Jolley Y-dna results

March 13, 2010


I had my Y-DNA tested at 37 points. My haploid group is I2A2B. There were close Y-DNA matches
with several Jolley/Jollys with New Jersey ancestors. Another 12 Jolley/Jolly American Y-DNA samples are not related.
Jim Jolly, y-DNA J5, and I, y-DNA J15, have a common ancestor maybe an average probability around 8 or 12 generations back.
