Hi Bob,
As a heads up, if you ordered a test from ancestry.com, to compare YDNA results with others in the Carson DNA Project at Family Tree DNA, you'll need to order a transfer at Family Tree DNA so that your results from ancestry.com. The same goes for anybody ordering from any other commercial site . Also (unless they've changed) Ancestry only reports values for 31 of the first 37 YDNA markers that are considered by DNA experts as important for comparison purposes. I found that out when a cousin of mine from another surname line ordered a YDNA test from them. When he sent me the results, I noticed the 6 missing markers. To get the other 6 markers would require buying an upgrade.

Gary,
I have done the Ancestry DNA test and have been waiting for raw data so I can post and compare it.

Your husband is one of my "cousins". William Gilmore Carson was the son of William Carson Jr. (1776-1846) and Margaret Beattie Carson (my 3rd Great Grandparents). William (Jr) parents were William Carson and Isabella Gilmore Carson (my 4th GG). Another one of their sons was James Carson who married Jane Kerr Carson (my 2nd GGrandparents). I think I just made that confusing. By your husband's ancestor, William Gilmore Carson was the brother to my 2nd GG James....so before that, we share the same CARSON ancestors...after that, we become cousins.
My older brother had his Y-DNA tested for the CARSON surname and he is R1b1a2 (M269). His Y-DNA shows a lot of matches to McCain, Ramsey and other surnames (not just Carson...but there are a lot of marriages into those families within our ancestor's lives. That should show up in our Family Finder or autosomal dna...but interesting that it shows up in the Y-DNA.
Kerr is another name linked to my line of Carsons. Jane Kerr's mother's maiden name was Finley....and there are lots of Carson "cousins" who ended up with either Kerr or Finley as middle names. Did you receive my family relationship chart that I sent out by e-mail? I will see if I can attach it to this message...if not, I will probably need your e-mail.
Judy Carson Ackerman- Edmond, OK

I'm just starting my husband's Carson genealogy work. His ancester is William Gilmore Carson (1808-1890). His wife was Elizabeth Finley (1817-1860). Their children were Mararet, William Finley, Mary Elizabeth, Samuel Kerr, Isabella Jane, Leonidas Wilson, Sara Jane, James Thomas, Rebecca Alice, Ebenezer Cyrus, Ira Calvin. Their pattern of naming after parents and grandparents and siblings makes me think that William (1745-1829) and Isabella Gilmore (1747-1811)are William Gilmore Carson's grandparents. I think Kerr is a family surname also but don't know the connection?
