Tim, it's a great idea to begin the new year with a serious start on
this project which may help sort out Casey lines and help us make
possible subgroups of Caseys for further research and comparison. Being
a female, I cannot participate in the conventional tests but intend to
ask an older male Casey first cousin of my mother's to submit a sample
(I'm willing to pay for it). It will only be through many folks'
participation and strong documentation of known ties that this project
will be most valuable.
FYI, another one of my family lines, the Pace surname, has had a DNA
project going for some time. They have a web site that others may find
interesting and informative. Here's the link. (Scroll to the bottom to
see how the results of the individual submissions have been grouped and
color coded into a chart showing possible/probable connections.) Thanks
for your stepping up with the offer to be the DNA Project Administrator!

I asked to be the Casey DNA Project Administrator and will do a DNA test
for the project my line is John Casey m. Drucilla Hill my his father was
Christopher Casey b. 1754 who died in Cole Co MO. (Note: I have never
found a document stating Christopher was John's father all handed down
info. Christopher Casey the son of Abner Casey or Christopher Casey b.
1731.
I would like to know any Casey descendants ideas about this DNA testing
before I start the process.
I have seen it done in my Hill lines and it does show what I know to be
correct.
