Hello!
There are more and more resources today on Carpenters than ever before. When this list
was started, pickings were rather slim. Now it is a question of separating the wheat from
the tares.
Below are several links.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and all articles need to be in that format.
ISOGG - International Society of Genetic Genealogy - Is rather new wiki and focused on
DNA.
We Relate is a genealogy wiki. It's advantage is that it is open to all and its
disadvantage is it is open to all.
We all need to strive to document, document and document. For example, please see Gene
Zubrinsky's "Carpenter Sketches" below. "Carpenter Sketches" is
an example of a well written genealogical report with excellent source documentation. Not
all of us can write that well or document as thoroughly, but we can try!
Sharing is the key. Many of the changes and corrections since 2001 has been because some
one said something similar to, "That doesn't seem right." or "X source
says this." By sharing, we all benefit.
I want to thank every one on this list. By asking for help, sharing information and
helping each other, we help our selves. AND yes, many have been waiting years for their
un-answered Carpenter mysteries. Many some day, a new or old member will come across
something that will make a difference. Maybe you?
Best Wishes!

This is the ISOGG wiki that describes the Y-DNA Project. More flexibility here than on the
Wikipedia.
