The Carroll Surname DNA Project at
FamilyTreeDNA.com has made great strides in the few (
five ) months that it has existed. Already nine Carroll family members have submitted
their DNA for sampling.
Comparison of DNA is an invaluable tool which can help us to find family members, lost
family lines, and trace back to our beginnings. The Carroll Clan which had many different
septs or branches is descended from the Sons of Milesius, King of the Milesians who
invaded Ireland about 3600 years ago and eventually conquered the original inhabitants and
became masters of the land ( Scotland and Ireland ).
The objective of the project includes:
1. Information for Genealogy Research and finding family members dispersed by the famine
holocast.
2. Indentical Markers will prove common Male ancestors.
3. Project will attempt to find family who can trace their origin to prior to the Battle
of the Boyne and the Flight of the Earls and Plantation Ireland.
4. Enable Carroll members to know which Sept or Branch they belong, if we can find
reliable lineage pre Battle of the Boyne.
If you have more interest please follow these links and they will give you some more
info.
I have recently become the volunteer administrator to the Carroll surname project at
ftdna. If I can answer any of your questions I will be happy to do so. If I cannot, I will
transfer your questions to the folks at ftdna or to members in our group. If you are a
female Carroll it will be necessary to find a male Carroll relative who can contribute.
We encourage you to join this project and become Member!
Sincerely
Kevin Carroll
