Carole,
Bob Carpenter is the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project Group 5 leader. As he
mentioned, he is on vacation and will get back to you after the weekend.
I am John R. Carpenter, a group administrator of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA
Project. I keep the master database, answer questions and such.
Group 5 is one of several groups that show a genetic pattern based on Y-DNA
marker values. As you know, the male Y Chromosome is passed from father to
son virtually unchanged over the generations. This makes it excellent for
surname studies like the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project.
From Table 1 on the main Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project web page,
scroll
down to Group 5. Then click on an ID number to the left of the table. This
will take you to the Group 5 lineage report. This shows the lineages of
those who have taken Y-DNA tests. See:
http://carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#table1
Another link to the Group 5 lineages follows:

Your lineage descends from Hans "John" Zimmerman-92092. Your help in
sponsoring a living male Carpenter cousin or uncle for a Y-DNA test would be
helpful.
FYI: The ID number after the surname is the main database number for the
individual. On the lineage page it is referred to as the "C#". This is a
shortcut name for the Carpenters' Encyclopedia of Carpenters. I usually use
"CE" followed by the publication year. For a few examples see:
http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Repository:Carpenters'_Encyclopedia_of_C...
Please review our Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project web page. It answers many
questions. But, feel free to ask me any question either on this list our to
my email address ( jrcrin001(a)cox.net ).

Subject: [CARPENTER] Carpenter / Zimmerman Group 5
To : John,
I am Carole Barling from Orange Park, Florida. I stumbled upon my
grandfather's linage, and I was surprised to discover that I am in Group 5.
My grandfather was Mascal Elijah Carpenter whose father was Thomas Nathaniel
Carpenter . Thomas married Arcena Catherine Swindle, and my mother, Kathryn
Irene Carpenter Blalock was named after her grandmother, Arcena.
Unfortunately, my grandfather died before I was born , however; Mascal's
wife,(my grandmother) Kitty Mae Cox, lived until she was 84, so I had the
privilege of knowing her. Both of them are buried in Vernon, Alabama. They
had eight children together before he died of a brain tumor. Furthermore,
they had He had the following children.
I noticed that there was not any information about my grandfather's marriage
or his children. My mother, Kathryn, and her
Sister, Dorothy, are the only children who are living at this time. My
mother can supply the information about her siblings. What information or
documents do we need to supply, so his linage is included in the project?
Did you have anyone who participated in the DNA project from this line?
If anyone has additional information, please share it with me.
Thank you so very much!
Carole Barling
