Jerry,
DNA can really help bring these family trees together. Take a look at what has begun at
Family Tree DNA.

If we could get at least one male Carson from each of these 1700s lines to test, we might
be able to tie our lines together.
There is a cost, but you can start with the $99 test and if you have a match to your 12
markers, you can then upgrade to a more involved test. Of course, it is cheaper to start
with the higher test. At least there IS a Carson group, so you can get that discount.
I see you have a Carson web page with a lot of info. Do you mind if I link it to our
Carson DNA site? I'd like to have some strong family pages like yours on there.
