Solving a mystery
Through DNA a cousin and I found each other. My cousin was born in Binghampton, NY and was adopted as a baby. Her birthday is October 1, 1956. She was born Cecelia Jones. Her DNA halpogroup is J the same as my maternal mtDNA group which the family names are Cleveland - Eslava - Cook - Boudin.
We have compared pictures and she definitely shares Cleveland features.
Our Cleveland line goes back to early 1700's late 1600's in Virginia. John the Reverend Cleveland and his brother Benjamin were in the Revolutionary War and our ancestors.
Any ideas to pursue or suggestions or absolute knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
