McCreary DNA Surname Group Project Website - Results

December 5, 2009

We have 26 participants as of today's date. 3 participants matched whose paper pedigrees confirm descent from Robert McCreary and Mary Fortune McCreary (Ireland to Camden District, SC to Barnwell District, SC abt. 1770), and we are working on uploading pedigrees or the earliest known ancestor with the results.

2 participants match whose pedigrees indicate a path of migration from Ireland to York Co. PA to MD and NC.
