Prime Minister Gordon Brown will soon make a formal apology for this practice in the past. I think many of our CARROLL immigrants came to the colonies in this manner. Isn't it interesting now to realize that was the best thing for these children? In addition to the orphans and poor children who were exported by the English, they also emptied their prisons. Again, I think it proved to be a good thing. Maybe along with the apology, the English government will publish lists of those transported. Here are two articles concerning this apology.

Hi Lura: I can't seem to find the last email where you listed the DNA project and that they were going to let you do it for a reduced price. I am going to try to get my brother to let me do this through him. Thanks, Faye

Hi Faye, Perhaps you were writing about the posting I did at http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carroll/7580/mb.ashx The two Carroll websites showing the results are at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/carroll/default.aspx?section=yresults Click on the other links on the left. Also http://www.carrollroots.com/carrollfamilydnavalues.pdf Use the ZOOM feature to enlarge the chart to read it. Place an order here http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?code=F25174&Group=Carroll Right now the Y-DNA37 and the Y-DNA67 are the Best Buys on sale for testing the Carroll Surname. As I have said before, get the Y-DNA67 if possible. I believe the 12 marker test is of very little value, and the 25 marker is still not enough to find common ancestors. Our Sampson/Duplin County, NC Carrolls would not have learned as much as we have, if we hadn't found the NULL value at DYS 425. We would not have known that if we had only tested to 37 markers. That one anomaly helps set us apart, and I think it MAY help tie us to the Scots-Irish of Northeast Ireland. Maybe not! It's too early to say for sure. I hope you will be able to get the test for your family.
