Cindy, a Y-DNA test of a male Caine relation will point to where your family came from. If
it was northern ireland then your male relations will have the same Y-DNA as the Ulster
Kanes (the biggest group) in the Cain DNA project at
www.familytreedna.com/public/Cain-Caine
But be aware that there were a number of smaller Kane/Caine clans or septs, each with
their own distinctive Y-DNA, in different parts of Ireland. So your male Caine relations
Y-DNA might end up pointing to one of the southern counties outside of northern Ireland.
