Leighton,
I am a descendent of William Bartholomew Carrico born 5 Oct 1782 in
Maryland. I have hit a dead end in the paper trail. My line all stays in
Washington DC and Maryland. William B. participates in the War of 1812 in the
Maryland militia and he was a watchman at the DC Navy Yard for almost 30
years. Much has been done in regard to the Carrico in Kentucky. The
Carrico's in Washington DC are a brick wall.
I have ordered the DNA test. However, I am uncertain of how much help it
will be since I am female. Does this trace the female as well as the male
line?

A while back Linda Boorom posted about the Family Finder test and a
possible
benefit to figuring out our closely matched Carricos.
My group of Carricos (proven to be Carricos by y-DNA testing) has been
pursuing an effort to identify the parents of our Matthew G. Carrico, b.
about 1810 in what is now Spencer County, KY. At the moment we have Family
Finder test results for descendants from the three children of Matthew who
survived to have children of their own. In some lines we have multiple
test
subjects for a total of 7. In addition to Linda Boorom, I know of at least
five other persons with Carricos in their tree who also have taken the
Family Finder test. We have some interesting matches to other Carrico
lines
but we need to see if almost all Carricos match on the Family Finder test.
Carrico DNA may be that dominant but that is yet to be proven.
The matches that have occurred are often unexpected. But taking the Family
Finder test does present an opportunity to solve some long standing puzzles
as well as see how many generations back the Family Finder test can
identify
a common ancestor. Since every Carrico who has a proven paper trail back
to
Peter the immigrant should be able to identify their most recent common
ancestor a close knit group like the Carricos could help answer the
question
o how far back Family Finder can look.
The sale ends 31 Dec so if you can take advantage of it the benefits to all
of us who have holes in the paper trail may be substantial. Thank you for
your consideration.
Whatever you decide, have a Happy New Year.

Yes ma'am, the Family Finder test is as useful for males as it is for
females. It should allow you to identify others who who share DNA with you
and who have Carrico ancestors in their family trees that MAY be helpful in
penetrating brick walls. We have been hoping to do the same thing and have
matches to several other Carrico lines, some of which also have brick walls
about the same timeframe. However, with enough intersections between
various Carrico families some of the questions may be answered.
