Message Board Post:
A donor has offered to subsidize a 67-marker test for any patrilineal (direct-male-line)
descendant of Alexander CARRICO (b. ca. 1747) or John CARRICO (b. ca. 1748) of Beverly,
Essex Co., MA. The subsidy amounts to a fifty dollar discount on the test. Only one
subsidy is being offered, so the early bird gets it.
Conditions for this offer:
The test subject must be a male surnamed CARRICO, with a solid paper trail to either
Alexander or John (described above). Obviously, this condition means sharing the family
group sheets connecting the test subject with his ancestor. The individual must join the
CARRICO Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project (linked below), and they must sign the Release
allowing the sharing of his results. This does not mean sharing his identity; only the
testing lab and the project admin necessarily need know the subject's identity. The
project admin will be the sole judge of whether the necessary conditions have been met.

This is a generous offer. I hope someone will take advantage of it because we need to
find out whether the Massachusetts CARRICOs are related to the descendants of the 1674
immigrant to Maryland, Peter CARRICO. Three of Peter's descendants have already been
tested, so we will be able to compare them immediately when the Massachusetts
CARRICO's results are returned.
