whom her husband has a very close DNA match.)

Dear James,
Your inquiry led me to dig out my husband's family history. He told
me he was told that our name was spelled Carden in the past, but somewhere
along the way it was changed to Cardin. Here's as far back as I've been
able to trace the Cardin's in our line:
James Cardin, born about 1812 in South Carolina. Wife, Polly.
Children: James Marion, William, Amanda, Arminda and Jones
Married Mary, four more children: Jackson, M. A., Sarah and L. E.
James Marion Cardin, born 1842. Wife Esabel Eglantine Debusk
Children: Alice Aminda who married Oscar Holroyd. Their
children were Stephen, James, Glen and Lester.
My husband's grandfather was William Erastus Cardin, born 1870 Wife Sara
Adeline Davis.
Children: Rosa Pearl, William Glen, Nettie Lutitia, Derril
Edward, Atha Beulah and Etha Reva
Here's a little sample of our line. Are there any names that ring a bell?
William Erastus homesteaded in Oklahoma, near Cushing. I haven't been able
to go further back than your namesake, James. Let me know if you'd like
more info.
Where are you located, England? We live in California, USA.
Sincerely,
Barbara Cardin
