Maureen, If you will contact me direct, I can direct you to those Kit #'s that are part of the McCarty's of Edgefield, South Carolina DNA Project.In most cases, you can also join that project by submitting the results of your marker test.I am sure the two in our group that your match would be very happy to have you share in their search.
Also, yes the Y-DNA project data can only use the DNA sample of a male in the direct line because only males carry the Y from generation to generation. This also means that they have the same name, or would have, had they not changed it as in adoption.If you are a female, you can have a male cousin, or other relation supply their DNA but the research contact would be you at your email address.There are several in our group that have gone that route as it seems there are many more females in the McCarty line than males.
