Jim,
This is an excellent summary. I agree with you. The greatest chance for a
breakthrough is if we keep an open mind to all possibilities. You've
presented some good arguments. There is a record of the transport of Peter
Currico (I think this is the spelling without checking) into Maryland in
1674 on the Maryland State Archives site. Thanks,
Phil

Subject: [CARRICO] Another Look at Origins
In the discussion during the last few days, I am troubled by the
widely-held
assumption that the origin of the Carrico surname must be found among the
Romance language speakers of Southern Europe, particularly, the
Portuguese.
Below, I would offer some contravening arguments in favor of a northern,
particularly Anglo, origin instead.
