Hello to all Readdick investigators,
A recent pair of Y-Chromosome DNA tests has resulted in a match between Paternal lines for the Readdick families of Camden & Glynn Counties of Coastal Georgia with the Reddick families of Burke & Screven Counties of Southeast Georgia. One male descendant of Peter Readdick (born circa 1800) and myself, a descendant (gggg-grandson) of Nicholas Reddick (died prior to 1811) have received confimation that our paternal Y-chromosome are perfect matches.
This means that these two sets of families have the same origins. It is likely that they are descended from the family of Johann Radick, a Palatine emigrant who arrived in Savannah in December of 1737.
I hope that this is helpful.
Sincerely,
Dale E. Reddick
