Yes Joyce, and Lew and I are from the same family. But we end at Sinclair
1799, VA. We hope to be able to tie in to one of the known Casey
genealogies beyond that date.

Maybe it's been said before, but ideally at least two Caseys need to submit
DNA to verify their very own line. In other words, if two males think they
descend from say, a John X. Casey b 1840, and their numbers DON'T match,
there may be an unknown adoption or illegitimacy somewhere in one of their
bloodlines. Then, a third male of that line should submit DNA to compare
with one of the others. The one who doesn't match might indeed not be a true
Casey or else he could just be mistaken about his research and who his Casey
ancestor really is. Or, a possibility is that they just don't match on one
of the fast-moving markers where mutations occur more rapidly. (Hope this
all makes sense! Am not a scientist.)
Am hoping for a decent match for my earliest-known: Daniel Casey ~1760 VA
then to Wilkes/Elbert Co. GA. He's already on the chart via male proxy but I
still need to get another known cousin to verify the line since we only have
one kit submitted. We do have D.A.R. paper proof on our line back to this
Daniel. Before that, unknown, though suspected. -Joyce H.

Well Lew, the only way we can get a good picture is for as many Casey males
to submit their DNA and share the results against other participants.
