CARRE/CARIE/KER/KERR spelling in Scotland
I am trying to learn more about this surname particularly the spelling of CARRE. My family of another surname came very anciently from Norway to Northeastern Scotland (Orkney, Aberdeen, Dundee, Montrose, Fifeshire, Perthshire, Edinburgh and Ayrshire seem to be the places I find them the most) to Nor. Ireland (Co.'s Londonderry, Antrim, Down, Armagh and possibly Donegal and Tyrone) to Nor. America (everywhere from Nova Scotia to SC, NC, TN, MS, AL, ARK, TX, OK, OH, PA, KY, KS, CA and several other states.
However I (my father does) have a Very close Ydna match to this surname.
With that in mind, I am trying to find out about this name as I believe it to be originally from Scotland as my family are/were.
The family to whom I share this close ydna match with ended up in the same states as others of my own family name and therefore I believe someone somewhere back in this family tree had a mingling with a male of my family tree which created the "branch" of this name.Obviously so, the Ydna results can't be argued with. I have 8 other ydna matches of varying degrees to my own surname so this is the only explanation for this very close match to this particular surname is that somewhere not too distantly back, some of this surname had a male child by someone of my surname, but gave that male child their surname of CARRE.
This person is the 2nd closest ydna match I have so my interest in finding our Common Ancestor is of great value to me.
Due to the nature of Ydna however I do not wish to reveal the details of either of our family trees because this news may not be as happy for them as it is for me so I will keep that private.
My main interest right now is finding out if Any of those with the name CARRE came originally out of Scotland to the British Isles and then to No. America?
Thank You very much.
