The Carr Surname Project has had success recently expanding paternal
line pedigrees using donations to the general fund to pay for tests of
men with solid pedigrees who are not interested in paying for a test
themselves. We have another connection pending this week. If you
make a donation to the general fund and identify a paternal line you
would like to see if you connect to, I can search for a descendant of
that line and help you make the connection. This is the best way to
make use of the test results you have already paid for. Be sure to
indicate that you are making a donation to the Carr general fund when
you make a donation. You can also specify how the donation is to be
spent - for example - 'to connect with paternal line of John Carr of
Bridgeport, Ohio 1865. FTDNA maintains the general fund. I have no
personal contact with the money.

FTDNA is at The Gathering in Edinburgh, Scotland as I type this.
Donations to the project can help use make connections through any
Carr families they make contact with at this event.
Your support, providing new contacts to prospective new participants
and men with well researched Carr lineage pedigrees, information on
Carr family trees, Carr ancestry, and convincing those who you believe
are related to you to join the project, etc., are all important to our
success.
We need help maintaining our project website as well if you have
website skills.
Thank you, looking forward to expanding all of our family histories,
have a great summer.
Write anytime,
John Carr
