Do NOT do the mtDNA test as it will be too vague for any genealogy purposes. If you can go back five generations, you are doing well. Keep researching. If you brother had a DNA test it would track the Jones and perhaps the JUSTUS family if he is related to that branch and it is paternal in nature. Don't spend money until you have run up against a brick wall that is totally strong and cannot be unbroken - then do the DNA but only the male side!

Thank you. It should be interesting because if I find the paternal line I have also found the maternal line AND the Justus is on both paternal and maternal if I go through my other, half-brother, who is a Justus - this should be fun.
