Hello Carswell List,
Late last year a Carswell DNA Study Group was formed with the
aims of :-
1.Identifying the different family groups
originating from different areas of the globe.
2.To confirm relationships between families.
3. Identify previously unknown relationships .
4. Contribute to the study of British & Irish
Clan History.
Currently we have the results for two lines, with a third result
coming in the near future. The results can be accessed at the website
http://www.ftdna.com/(m0dayhmkmxxhtkzanb5ury3i)/public/carswell/index.asp... These
results are from Carswells originating in the Neilston area of Renfrewshire Scotland.
It would be of great interest to many to know the history of the
various Carswell families of the world & where their connections lie .Does your family
connect with the Carswells of Argyll, Renfrewshire ,Fife, Dumfries in Scotland or County
Down in Ireland or Devon in England or else where Do we all originally come from the same
area?.Who is related to John Carswell Bishop of Argyll & the Isles in 1560 or to
Alexander Carswell & Isabella Brown who sailed to the USA from Belfast in 1773? .
If you would like to participate in the group study or require
further information (eg FAQ) on DNA testing please visit the website
www.ftdna.com or
contact the group administrator Ian Carswell whose email address is found on the site

Discounted prices are available through Family Study groups.
