Hello Diana -- nice name!
I'm the administrator of the CARRICO DNA Project:
http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/DNA/Carrico/CarricoDNA.shtml
I'm a descendant of Peter CARRICO, 1674 immigrant to Maryland, USA, as are a great
many American CARRICOs. It is believed that Peter may be Portuguese, though no actual
paper documentation has ever been found, and probably none even exists. If we are ever to
"cross the pond," it will likely be through DNA testing.
If you have a male CARRIÇO relative who would be willing to participate, the project is
willing to pay for the testing.
The project has already tested one CARRICO whose grandfather emigrated from Portugal to
Brazil. He is not a match to the descendants of Peter. So, the big question to answer
will be: Will your family match his or Peter's?
If you wish to accept the offer or have any questions, please don't hesitate to
contact me privately (email address via the header above or via the "Contact"
link on the project web page).
Diana
