Descendants of the following Carr ancestors have DNA results listed in
the Sorensen Molecular Genealogy Foundation Database. SMGF recently
changed their database to allow searches by Surname. I have collected
the DNA results for these Carr families from the database and added
them to the Carr Surname Genetic Genealogy Database. The Y DNA of two
of the families included in the Sorensen results match two participants
in the Carr Surname Genetic Genealogy Project. Y Chromosome DNA passes
father to son and changes very slowly, which makes it a good indicator
of a familial relationship between paternal lines. 26 Carr (Kerr)
family lines are now included in the Carr Surname Genetic Genealogy
database with pedigrees from Scotland, Ireland, England and many US
states. If you think your Carr family paternal line may be descended
from or related to one of these families, a Y-DNA test on your Carr
family members can help you. For more information on how you can
participate, contact me directly. Thank you.
