Hello,
Late last year we started a Carpenter (& similar sounding names) DNA Project.
This project is through Family Tree DNA. We have group rates. Below my name is a web
page that explains the project and the related links.
Y-DNA - the DNA handed down by male to male - can show paternal relationships to a common
ancestor if any. This by DNA markers.
One theory is that the oldest branches of Carpentiers in France are related to the oldest
branches of Carpenters in England and America. Only DNA can prove this. Only DNA can
prove a scientific commonality between different people with the same last name.
Please look into this interesting project.
