Notes - The Jordi family shares nearly identical Y-DNA with the families Joder, Zimmerman, Martin, and Ernst. The DNA evidence implied that these five families share a common ancestor, born ca. 1000 AD. . . . The Jordi and Joders may have indirectly taken their names from Theodor of Graymont, the first bishop of Octodorum (now Martigny in Canton Valais).
