A fool proof way to prove the connection between your Jordan line and the Gray Jordan line is to participate in the Jordan Surname DNA Project. We have 11 matched groups of participants who have a common ancestor -- many of whom could not get back past brick walls in the paper and microfilm search to find the connections. The Gray Jordan line from NC are in one of those groups as you will see on the following Web page: _http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/files/DNA_table_ancestors_111504.htm_ (http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/files/DNA_table_ancestors_111504.htm) The DNA test is simple and easy to take. A Jordan male descendant does a mouth swipe with a Q-tip and mails it to the DNA test center. Nothing to it. The order form and instructions are shown at: _http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/JordanDNAProjectOrderForm.html_ (http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/JordanDNAProjectOrderForm.html) The full set of information about the project is at the following page: _http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/DNAindex.html_ (http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/DNAindex.html) You might consider giving a test kit to a family member as a Christmas present. Couldn't think of a better gift.
