Project Surnames:

Jones

Project Background:

This project is for the aid in connecting different Jones members together in tieing up loose ends that cannot otherwise be found.
The Jones surname is widespread and will have a great many different branches, even many who are unrelated to each other.
I started this surname group because there was not one already up and running. I thought it was lacking considering how many people have the name of Jones assigned to them.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Project Goals:

My original goal in starting this Project was to find a connection some where in the past with another "Jones" family member. Hopefully, this is the goal of each one who joins.
The GOAL for our Surname Group is to expand our knowliedge of the Jones family and to try to connect as many of us together as possible. I would greatly enjoy to see a group membership of at least 500 people. It may seem like a lot, but with all of the millions upon millions of Joneses out there, 500 is not very many.
We welcome members from all nationalities and races. Even if our genetics might not intersect within the past thousand years, one can never be sure that there will be no connection within the past 600 years. Races and nationalities have mingled.
Do not hestitate to join even if you think you will not match anyone in our group. Surprises happen. Take a chance and grow your tree a little more.

Project News:

It is almost Christmas and our membership has reached 190. I am delighted with the increase in numbers. Ron Jones

Project Results:

We have 190 members and our base is expanding every day.
On occasion, I do get requests to join without any follow through. I hope to change that in the near future.
Our member base is beginning to expand rapidly. It really should not be long until we have 200 members. With more and more people in our group, the probabilities of matching and finding relatives increases.
If you have not already done so, then please enter your oldest known ancestor on your Personal Page.
