Hello Everyone!
We have updated the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project web page and lineage page. John
Chandler has done an excellent job. Look for those yellow highlights for the recent
changes.
Big changes to Group 5. This is thanks to Group leader Bob Carpenter with help from Robert
C. Carpenter. In addition, on the
http://Carpentercousins.com page you will see Group 5
has been added to the line up.
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project does not track MtDNA, Family finder and other tests.
We focus on the Y-DNA. On rare occasions, a test like the Kittler test for Group 5 has
helped out. But the Kittler is a specialized for one Y-DNA marker. We try to focus on the
genealogical time period and not thousands of years ago.
We would really like you to upgrade during a Y-DNA sale, donate to the Carpenter Cousins
General Fund or sponsor a third cousin or so to expand your group.
That said, some of you are interested in deep ancestry (Haplogroups & SNPs) or
ancestral breakdowns of your ancestry (Xpart European, Xpart Asian, et cetera.). So two
sales are on from FTDNA until the end of Father’s Day – this coming Sunday. See details
below.
Family Finder is on sale for $79. This is okay for general ancestry theories. As always
take it with a grain of salt and not as the absolute truth and only the truth. The same
goes for cousins or relative finder. If you do not have the paper trail then it is
difficult to be helpful.
The Big Y is a huge test of SNPs and only one person in each group needs to take it. If
two people in one group take it they get the same SNP results. (HINT!) If you are going
to partake, then post your group number, so others can benefit. Also there is a coupon
available on the sale price of $595 knocking it down to $495. See details below. Yes,
there are some other values for the Big Y, see
FTDNA.com for details.

Family Finder was recently improved with the release of myOrigins, an all new ethnicity
tool allowing you to compare your ethnic breakdown to that of your matches while providing
more detailed information on your ethnic heritage than ever before!
Big Y matching is coming! Over the course of the next two weeks we will begin a phased
release of Big Y matching so you can directly compare your comprehensive Y-DNA results to
those of other Big Y test takers. The key to identifying all new SNPs and subclades is
finally here!
