Hi, I am reviewing list of William's children and would like to point out that Patience and Frederick are listed to be born in Lenoir CO, NC Years ago a gentleman wrote me about his William of Lenoir County and we correspnded for sometime til it finally was resolved that his William was not ours. I was surprised to learn about Patience and Frederick as I always assumed they were born in Craven County.

I do not know what happened but the geneaology reearch that goes back beyond William and Pency I have lost
Does anyone out there have it and if so, please share. I received
the 11 children of Wm and Pency but I know you went further back.
I would be most indebted and now that printer is working will print and put it in my Carmack geneaology book.

Sorry, but John Wesley Carmack did not have a brother George. He is the
son
of Simpson B Carmack, born in Fulton Co. Pennsylvania. I have Simpson's
Family bible and contrary to what most web references say he is not the son
of
Peter. John Wesley had 7 siblings. William Henry B., Samuel B., Calvin
Porter, Jane, Margaret Suselia, James Vinson, and Jesse W. John Wesley has
a very

Beau,
The mtDNA test looks at the DNA of the mitochondria, a special part of
all-human cells, which is passed on, female-to-child, and inherited down the
female line. It is generally used to study long-term population developments
such as human migrations. It is a favorite genetic tool of Anthropologists.
The Mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) test can reveal detail about the distant
origins of maternal ancestors and could be used to link individuals via the
female line. The mtDNA test will also determine your maternal Haplogroup and
the area of the world where that direct female ancestor is thought to have
lived. However, for genealogical purposes, even if you are tested with the
enhanced/refined or so-called mtDNA Plus test, it is not as precise in
resolution of time to Most Recent Common Ancestor as the male Y-DNA test,
and since the female line birth/maiden names quickly get lost in history,
the mtDNA test is thus generally not as useful for genealogical purposes as
the Y-DNA test. But it can be used to confirm scientifically that two
people share a common female direct maternal line ancestor if one is
suspected via traditional genealogical research. MtDNA has been extensively
studied for over 20 years and is used quite extensively for anthropological
studies. Interesting migration maps have been created to show the spread of
different female lines throughout the world
The Y-DNA test effectively traces the MALE line only. The mtDNA test on the
other hand is tracking DNA that is passed only through the Mother's line and
cannot be passed on through the male line.
If you match someone on the mtDNA side you will know that you and they share
a common female ancestor, but the time to the most recent common ancestor is
typically several thousand years ago, and certainly not less then many
hundreds of years group. FTDNA, also offers an refined/enhanced mtDNA Plus
test that examines the HVS2 section of the Mitochondria to reduce the time
predictions to the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) in the female direct
line.
If people were interested, I could post these test results as well.

Subject: [CARMACK] Carmack DNA Project
It's been a while since I provided an update on the Carmack DNA Project.
Things have not really changed (no new members). We still need to encourage
people to participate. There are many of us out there (myself included)
that cannot find the paper trail in order to trace our ancestors. The DNA
project is a method to determine the various groups of Carmack's, related,
or not.
As for my own findings, here is what I was able to determine. I knew that I
descended from Jesse Ann Carmack. However, there is no proven record of who
Jesse's father was. There are several theories, but no proof. By comparing
my DNA to others in the project I was able to determine that my DNA matches
exactly with Cornelius. Thus I know that Jesse Ann Carmack was a descendant
of Cornelius. There is no way to determine who Jesse's father is from the
DNA test. (this is not the same as a paternity test)
The current members and participants of the Carmack DNA Project fall into 2
groups which are NOT related to each other. We have descendants of
Cornelius Carmack in one group and descendants of Samuel B. Carmack, Furney
Carmack, and Fredrick Carmack in the other group. The DNA analysis shows
that these 2 groups are not related. Currently we do not kow how Samuel B.
Carmack, Furney Carmack, and Fredrick Carmack are even related to each
other. The great finding here is that we know they ARE related which may
lead to focused research in hopes to find the common link.
The other important finding is that we know that the 2 groups do not share a
common ancestor. We now know that Samuel B. Carmack, Furney Carmack, and
Fredrick Carmack are not related to Cornelius Carmack. So we can stop
trying to find a common link to Cornelius.
Here is a mathmatical calculation between the 2 groups showing the likehood
of a common ancestor. In comparing 25 markers, the probability that
Cornelius Carmack descendants and those from Samuel B. Carmack, Furney
Carmack, and Fredrick Carmack share a common ancestor within the last...
100 years is 0.00%
200 years is 0.00%
300 years is 0.05%
400 years is 0.35%
500 years is 1.30%
600 years is 3.47%
If you are interested in seeing the Carmack DNA Project results, here is the

http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~carmack/
The Carmack research, as well as the DNA project can greatly benefit from
additional participation. We especially invite those researchers who do not
know their Carmack ancestry. There are many unknowns out there that we can
answer. If we can find descendants of Dennis Carmack (abt 1678) and Peter
Carmack (abt 1690) [who are often listed as brothers of Cornelius Carmack]
to participate, we can prove, or disprove, whether they are related to
Cornelius Carmack. I'm sure there are other mysteries that the DNA Project
can help with too. Please consider joining the Project (Christmas Present,
New Year's resolution, etc).
Family Tree DNA (FTDNA)is the leading research firm in this field. The DNA
testing is as easy as brushing your teeth -- no blood, no doctors, no visits
to collection specialists. Your genetic test kit consists of a cheek
scraper and a collection tube. You will be able to read the instructions and
perform a painless cheek scraping in about five minutes. The effect of using
the scraper is about the same as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle
toothbrush.
You don't go anywhere. They mail the kit to you and you mail it back to
them. The kit is a padded envelop that contains two swabs that look like a
tooth brush. You brush the inside of your cheek with one swab, then do the
same with the other at least eight hours later. The swabs have nice little
handles that allow you to push the soft ends off into small vials of soapy
water. The vials have caps that keep the swab tips wet and sealed while they
travel to Houston in the envelope.
Test results will be returned to the Family Coordinator and the test
participant as they are received by FTDNA. Each participant will also
receive a certificate and report containing his personal test results. The
staff of FTDNA or its testing lab at the University of Arizona will help
interpret the meaning of test results. In addition, information on test
analysis will be published on my website and I will be happy to discuss
individual results as they relate to other results from the group.
To ensure privacy, no information will be placed on the website which
identifies anyone (no name, email address, or anything else). Each test kit
has a number (ID Number), this would be the only way that information is
identified.
The Y-DNA 25-marker test is $169. This is the most basic test that I would
recommend. The latest, most detailed analysis, is now 37 markers and is
called the Y-DNA 37-marker test which cost $229. There is a 12 marker test
for $99. I do not recommend this test. The results of this test will
usually require an upgrade to the 25 or 37 marker test to make use of the
information. For example the 12 markers may match and you could think that
this is a perfect match to the Cornelius Carmack descendant group. However,
the other markers may determine that you are related but not as a descendant
but potentially an ancestor (meaning that the common ancestor was farther
back than Cornelius).
If there are any questions please let me know. Here is the link the Family
Tree DNA site to join:
http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=F28551&special=True
FTDNA has also established a fund that will accept donations. This means
that someone could donate funds and if there were anyone which needed
financial help to pay for the DNA test the fund would pay for it. These
funds would be for sole use of the Carmack DNA Project. If there is anyone
that would like to contribute to the general fund for this project here is
the link:

As a reminder Y-DNA testing involves Y-DNA which is passed from father to
son only, through the generations. Thus we need Carmack males.
