They all fall under the J1c2ca Mitotree haplogroup.
 [https://discover.familytreedna.com/mtdna/J1c2ca/story FTDNA] predicts this haplogroup originated roughly 550 CE. Thus not everyone who falls into this haplogroup would descend from Esther, but all of her matrilineal descendants must fall under this clade (and possibly a subclade).
