Jimmy et al,
No one is being kicked off this list. Opinion seems divided right down the middle if
Y-DNA testing should be a requirement to joining this list. Half say yes and half say no.
It is a tie. Therefore it is up to the list administrator, and I say keep the list open,
but STRONGLY SUGGEST that:
1) all members have Y-DNA testing done,
2) all members UPLOAD their results to one of the public searchable databases such as
Ysearch, Ybase or others,
3) all members join the Carroll Y-DNA SURNAME PROJECT at FamilyTreeDNA, and
4) all members post their Carroll LINEAGE to this list for our archives.
This list is after all a forum for discussion of our Carroll Y-DNA and how it informs our
genealogical research. Without Y-DNA testing data it becomes just another message board.
Regards,
Eric Olson
