I have found another DNA signature that Thor matches closer than he
does
with the Carden surname. It is the DNA of Thomas Gale Moore.
Trish - how exciting!
I will give some more thought to this when I have got my head above water
after my vacation (ha! ha!). Obviously you have to track down this Moore
fellow and discuss the matter with him. If he and Thor have a common male
ancestor, then he's a Carden or Thor is a Moore! (Should we perhaps be
discussing this privately, rather than on the list?). It will be very
interesting to see Robert L Carden's test result (Thor's 3rd cousin).
Perhaps Thor should then get a test done by FTDNA to confirm his Oxford
Ancestors result. Meanwhile perhaps Robert L Carden should have the sample
he sent in last month analysed at 25 markers rather than just the 12 he has
specified. I think the cost is $189 rather than the $99 for 12 markers.
Probably not too late to make the change. Please will you or Robert
correspond directly with Bennett Greenspan at info(a)familytreedna.com about
this. You will find him very helpful and I am sending him a copy of this
message.
Arthur.
PS. Bennett - Trish is Thor Carden's wife. Thor's DNA signature was
obtained through Oxford Ancestors and differs somewhat from that of the rest
of the Cardens. We are currently getting you to analyse a sample from Robert
L Carden, Thor's 3rd cousin, to clarify whether the difference is due to
radio-active exposure suffered by Thor's father. Perhaps you were
responsible for the analysis of Thomas Gale Moore's sample? The idea that
Thor Carden and Thomas Gale Moore have a common ancestor is reinforced by the
fact that their forbears were neighbours in NC and that Thor's father was
named Philip Moore Carden.
Per Oxford Ancestors:
Carden haplotype : 14 12 24 10 13 13 10 16 12 12
Thor's DNA 14 12 23 12 13 13 10 16 12 12
Thomas Gale Moore 14 12 23 10 13 13 10 16 12 12
You are currently processing Robert L Carden's sample under reference Kit No
4480.
