About us

Welcome to the Joines/Joynes/Jines DNA Project The Joines/Joynes/Jines DNA Project is dedicated to using DNA testing to advance genealogical and family history research. Our goal is to trace the migration of our ancestors, uncover family relationships, and explore deep ancestral origins. About the Project This Y-DNA project is open to men with the surnames Joines, Joynes, Jines, and all known variants. Additionally, men whose DNA results confirm a common male ancestor with project members are encouraged to join. A surname project like this one helps trace family connections through direct paternal lineage. Who Can Join? • Men with the surname Joines/Joynes/Jines (or variations) can take a Y-DNA test (Y-37 and/or a Big Y-700) to trace their direct paternal line. • Women do not carry Y-DNA but can have a male relative with the surname order a Y-DNA test. • Both men and women can participate by ordering an mtDNA test (mtDNAPlus or mtFullSequence) or an autosomal Family Finder test to explore maternal ancestry and recent family relationships. • To join, you must request authorization by filling out and submitting the join authorization form. By working together, we can uncover our shared heritage and preserve the legacy of the Joines/Joynes/Jines family for future generations.
