Is it where you can give a DNA sample and be matched with other family tree searchers? I have been researching another side of my family but have wanted to know more about the Carroll line and hoped someone out there might have some leads. At this stage i don't know enough about the English Carroll's to be able to link them to a certain part of Ireland yet but it's early days in my snooping. Do you know much about the Catholics and Protestants of Ireland or who is likely to come from which area? I haven't learn't much about that yet but i think it will probably be a big help with my research. Either Ann's mother or grandmother was apparently Spanish (don't know any names)which just seems a bit odd to me since Spain is a very catholic country but these Carroll's were protestant???? Let me know if you find out anything that you think may be of help and good luck with your snooping...err research! Thanks mate:) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
