Question - I have not been active in pursing my Case line for several years,
been chasing other rabbits as they say. Can someone enlighten me on this
DNA thing?
I don't have a clue on how this works or if I would even be interested in
checking this out. Will appreciate any information regarding this procedure.

Dear Lloyd,
I couldn't agree with you more. Years ago, I did the cheek swab test to have
my DN run by Oxford Ancestors located at Oxford University in England. They
have an enormous international database. I am a Wilson male and although I
can trace female lines back over 1500 years, the Wilson record stops at
about 1530. The Y chromosome very, very rarely mutates, so most male lines
have identical Y chromosomes from father to son. I learned the I am of
Celtic descent in the male line meaning my male ancestors in direct line
came from the earlier inhabitants of Great Britain, either Wales, Ireland or
Scotland. Oxford Ancestors has maps that show the migration of your
bloodlines as far back as 25,000 years ago both male and female.We will not
ever know their names, but I find it fascinating to be able to trace the
migration patterns of our far distant ancestors.

Jim,
am far from knowledgeable about the Carolina Case sources. Still, I
hink there are a lot of emmigration and ship records on line that I
ould try before a trip. I think the DNA thing is useful too. You get a
icture of where the current bloodline relatives live. As a family
igrates over the years, they leave members along the trail and so you
an get a good idea of where the closest and the long-ago relatives
ived. I traced my blood line to Ireland, France, Spain, Latvia, and
he Ukraine in that order. It should span over 1000 years (known by the
enetic mutation you get the distance of the relationship). Anyway, it
s a lot to guide you, even though you do not get names, you do get a
ood idea of the trail of the "surname relatives" with a y-DNA test.
hat can help narrow down where you look for links. It costs about $200
nd involves swabbing the inside of your cheek.... all very easy. I used
amily Tree DNA [
www.familytreedna.com] and their Case surname
roject
http://www.familytreedna.com/surname-search-results.aspx?sType=eq&Sea...
2=case].
It was worth the time/money.
orry I could not help more but I do wish you good luck.

Lloyd,
Well, this is a dashing blow to find that I'm most likely unrelated to the
John Case of Simsbury, CT - but not a problem. Have you - or anyone, ever
seen a ship's manifest that had Cases disembarking at Savannah (arriving
with Ogelthorpe)? We had a legend in our family that our Cases came out
of
debtors prison, traveled with Ogelthorpe, and the claim that at least
my
Dad
had was that our Case origins were actually Welsh.
I'm just try to figure out where the Carolina Cases originated, if not
from
CT. Oh, and curiously, but maybe not so much, the given names of the
men
in
John's family are repeated generation upon generation in my
branch of the
Cases. That's why it seemed like a good match to me.
And while I'm asking the impossible - are there any good sources of
records
that you know of in the Carolinas from colonial days? Would it be
worth a
trip to see in person, and if so, what would you recommend to visit?
Regards,
Jim
