Our markers are shown on the bottom line above. They are pretty close to the Cohen line. Over time there are slight mutations that change the numbers slightly. I have filed with a group of Cohen's who are conducting a study, and they will let us know if they think we fit. We will wait for the outcome of the study, but for now, I am calling Moses and Aaron cousins.
Anyone doubts it, I will sing them Red's song below:
Our Singing Cowboy Uncle Red must have suspected this connection, since he often sang to his nephews and nieces this song.
I was born about 10,000 years ago,
There ain't nothin in this world that I don't know,
I saw Peter Pan and Moses dancin Ring around the Roses,
And I'll Whip the man who says it isn't so.
And then all the collected Nieces and Nephews loudly would say, "It isn't so!!!"
And Red would glare at us in mock anger.

Y-DNA haplogroup J evolved in the ancient Near East and was carried into North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, Pakistan and India. J2 lineages originated in the area known as the Fertile Crescent. The main spread of J2 into the Mediterranean area is thought to have coincided with the expansion of agricultural peoples during the Neolithic period. The timing of the demographic events that brought J2 to Central Asia, Pakistan, and India is not yet known. J1 lineages may have a more southern origin, as they are more often found in the Levant region, other parts of the Near East, and North Africa, with a sparse distribution in the southern Mediterranean flank of Europe, and in Ethiopia.
There is a descending gradient in the frequency of occurrence of haplogroup J from the Middle East toward the northwest of Europe, reaching about 3% of the population on the northwest Atlantic coast. The occurrence of J in Europe is undoubtedly due both to the Neolithic expansion and to episodic migrations, though the relative proportion of those two sources is controversial and may not be the same in different locations.
A significant fraction of Jews belong to haplogroup J, but Jews represent a small minority of the European members of the haplogroup. The "Cohen Modal Haplotype" is a specific set of six Y-STR marker values that occurs in both J1 and J2, though at a much higher frequency in J1.

The form below shows results from an earlier genetic test that indicates we are 100% of European Descent. Middle eastern inputs are European. Native American if any genetic inputs have disappeared. But we will conduct an mtDNA test on Clif Hullinger to see if our Native American connection back to Ianahana Poe is correct.
