    Hello John....Thanks for the invitation. I believe my Irish ancestors came from County Cavan but probably have links to County Fermanagh and County Longford as well.

    John, Thanks for the invite. Maybe together we can get linked.

    I think my Andrew Noble was the brother of John Noble b 19 Aug 1817 in Maguiresbridge who died in Ontario in 1861 according to an Ancestry.com family tree. My DNA matches the Y-DNA kit at Family Tree DNA's Noble and Nobles Group Y-DNA member results for item #11. The online DNA kit record for John's line is considerably shorter than my Ancestry.com DNA kit result, but the available portion matches item for item. My results are also extremely close to a number of other kit results there. I've written to Joseph Noble, the host of the Noble and Nobles group, and to the owner of the Ancestry family tree, but so far I've not heard back from either.

    My Noble records are posted at Rootsweb WorldConnect in a dataset called pnoble66. Search for George Patrick Noble b 23 Mar 1923 -- my father -- and you'll come upon my Carr surname database rather easily.

    My Andrew Noble was living in Enniskillen on Fort Hill ST in 1862 along with my great-grandfather Robert Noble. Robert married Mary Anne McDermott in 1874 and had a handful of kids, including my grandfather Robert James Noble. Young Robert went to sea, as did his older brother George. Robert started out on Anchor Lines of Glasgow, then went to New York and switched to the Panama Canal Steamship and Railroad Co, making runs to the Canal Zone during its construction and beyond. He met my grandmother in Baltimore, worked as a chef at hotels and resorts, and died in Norfolk, Va in 1951. My Dad served in Australia during WWII and lived most of his married life in suburban Washington, DC, where I was raised.

    I'm excited to think these two lines might be merged based on DNA evidence. Are you a descendant of John's line? Can you help me tie things together?

    How exciting for both of you! Have you both put your DNA results into Ysearch.org? That is a good way to compare.
