Project Background
The, "McCarty's of Edgefield, South Carolina Y-DNA Project" was developed after fifteen years of genealogy research on early McCarty families around Edgefield, South Carolina failed to show definitive relationships among many of these McCarty, McCarthy, McCartney, McCarter groups.
There are multitude of stories and theories as to relationships between McCarty ancestors and their descendants. Many theories cannot be proven using present day genealogical research.
It is believed that Y-DNA testing of male McCarty descendants that had ancestors in the Edgefield, South Carolina area will help in identifying these ancestral relationships.
