Diana,
Just got home from work and saw your several join requests. Will go into the Admin page
and except
shortly. To further help the members of the Carrico Family Project at FTDNA, I have also
set up an
account with
myfamily.com to upload info., discuss information, esp. that which might
involve living
people and not appropriate for discusson on this list. This is all still very new to most
of us, so
not much discussion has ensued YET!.
I know we haven't broken down any Carrico brick walls YET, I am hopefull in time that
we may and
will most certainly share that information with this list.
Meanwhile though, I have personally been able to extend a few of my own linage back in
time with the
help of some of the matches I and/or other close relatives I have had tested. If nothing
else, the
matches have made me look closer at some of my ancestors and extend the paper trails back
further
than what I had. The DNA matches doesn't necessarily make it easier, just helps to
direct your
searches to determine who the common ancestor is between the 2 parties.
With the current price of $99 (was $289, dropped to $199) it is becoming more affordable.
It can't
replace the paper trail, but can add to it.
Linda

Linda,
Thank you so much for taking on the difficult task of managing a project based
on autosomal DNA. I'm doing it for the DAVIS-THOMPSON branch of my family, so I
appreciate how much hard work it is to make good use of the results.
As you are aware, I and four of my cousins, all of us descended from Charles
CARRICO of Sullivan Co., Indiana, have just requested to join. All of us have
completed our FF test, uploaded a GEDCOM to our member pages, and entered our
surnames. Matchees will not be frustrated by a lack of genealogical
information!
I'm the contact for all five tests, so you will see my email associated with all
of them.
Diana
