Cathcart Groups
Comments & Instructions
This is a listing of the Cathcart males at the end of each "brick wall."
Although some folks (including me) put ancestors behind each of these "founding
fathers," the evidence is often pretty slim, unproven and/or disputed.
Use these men as possible anchor points to correlate yDNA genetic test
results with known genealogical research.
