Lisa,
Hopefully there is someone who will be able to give you an explanation. I
would not dare attempt to do so!
I have had my Irish fix for today (at least part of it). I just watched the
Irish Tenors video (Irish Tenors - not 3 Irish Tenors). No one can sing Danny
Boy and The Old Man like John McDermott. His rendition of The Old Man
requires a whole box of Kleenex! My Casey blood is definitely bubbling to the
surface today. Off now to watch my Riverdance video.
Wherever you go and whatever you do
May the Luck of the Irish be there with you

Hi, Vonda and Casey List Members!
I beg your patience as I try and work through my DNA
question...
James Casey, b. abt 1790 in South Carolina, and listed
with family in 1850 Cass Co. Georgia Census, is my
3GGrandfather. I do not have any male brothers or
cousins who can submit DNA, so I have taken Tim's
resolution to heart and I am searching for a living
male Casey cousin descendant from one of my known
great's families. I'm getting closer...Still not sure
how I'm going to approach complete strangers in East
Texas or Oklahoma or Arkansas hahaha. But, I'll find
someone...
My question is this: If we have no knowledge of who
James Casey's father was -- on paper, how will the DNA
results help. In other words, won't it just be numbers
without names? If someone from say, Uriah or Moses
Casey's lineage submits their DNA, and it matches my
James' descendant's DNA, have I discovered anything
other than what I already know, that is, that we are
related somehow, but not exactly in what way?
I'm so sorry if my question is lame! I guess I just
need to understand exactly what we are expecting from
the project. I'm crossing my fingers that Casey
breakthroughs in this area will help me remove even a
tiny brick of this James Casey wall!
And wishing everyone the Luck o' the Irish on this day
of days...especially in our genealogical endeavors!
Thanks always for the great contributions to the list.
