FamilySearch does not have all the information needed to make valid connections. Much of
what was been volunteered to the site was undocumented - such as with my own Garlick
ancestors who are not proven to link to Johann Christian Garlock.
Male Garlick/Garlock/Carlock/Gerlock and similar lines are needed. We need DNA testers to
test and find out if there is a common ancestor or not. How many separate lines are there?
Until we have more testors, we are not going to know the answers.
To be the most effective the DNA testing should be with the same company. Two related
projects, Palatine and Garlick/Garlock have been started at
FTDNA.com. FAMILY TREE DNA is
a reputable and respected company. They are also partnered with the Nat Geo Genome
Project.
They have periodic sales making a little easier to pay for the tests. If you are female,
how about becoming a sponsor. I am.
