You are WONDERFUL!! Your donations have added $495 dollars to the General Fund!

We now have enough on hand to test this individual and another to come!
I'm in contact with the daughter, who will be getting in touch with her father
over the weekend to ask if he is willing to be tested (he doesn't have a
computer or email). If not, she tells me she has an uncle and some cousins who
can be approached. Although she lives in South Africa, she has a large extended
CARRICO family in the town of Ourém, near Fatima, Portugal, where they are from.

Subject: [CARRICO-DNA] potential new member -- CARRICO originally from Portugal
Hello List,
I've just had a query from a CARRICO in South Africa whose grandfather moved
there from Portugal.
We still have the offer out on the web site to subsidize the testing of a
"non-American" CARRICO:
<
http://dgmweb.net/DNA/Carrico/CarricoDNA.shtml#Subsidies>
Unfortunately, our coffers run low, and we have only $20 in the project's
General Fund:
<
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/carrico/default.aspx>
I have just donated $50 to the CARRICO Project General Fund (it may not show up
on the web site immediately), and I would ask that those of you interested in
"crossing the pond" to find our CARRICO origins, please also make a
contribution
to the Fund (ASAP):
<
http://www.familytreedna.com/group-general-fund-contribution.aspx>
You may donate anonymously, if you wish. Also, be aware that anything you type
into the "Notes" field will be publicly visible
Your donation doesn't have to be large. If everyone donates just $10, we can
pay for this individual's testing and start building for the next opportunity.
These opportunities -- to test a non-American CARRICO -- arise so seldom, I
don't want to run the risk of them not joining the project because of the
expense.
