Hello Cousins,
Let’s quit yapping and get back to sharing CARTER ancestry. My DNA kit is number 88894, it’s not a secret, nor is my family tree; check it out. Has anyone out there ever heard of a man named CYRUS HARRISON CARTER? He was born abt. 1812 in Georgia; died Abt. 1880. He married MARTHA YATES 13 April 1835 in Fayette County Georgia. She was born 1815, and died 04 June 1905 in Texas. Cyrus Harrison Carter also lived in Randolph County Alabama, Potomac County Mississippi, and Choctaw Territory Oklahoma. Cyrus may have had a brother named James Thomas Carter. If you have any information, please contact me.

No, carter-cousins.org isn't currently restricted ... you're absolutely
right ... and that's part of the problem! The site I was referencing is the
Clement/Clements/Clemmmons site that requires participants to provide
trees. People who randomly visit the site can't access those trees, but those
who've done the DNA test and have provided trees (required) are able to view
them.
All we're saying is that it's important to have the documentation as well
as the DNA test, and that information should be made available to those who
are willing to share. Otherwise, the lack of information affects
everyone's research, including those who are unwilling to share! There may be a
crucial clue in one of their branches that would cause another member to say,
"Hey, you belong to my family!!"

What is to prevent them from looking at our numbers??
Also, I am contacted by family tree (I think it is) every time there is
a match. And I then get their e-mail so I can contact them???
Please explain.

The web site that I referenced early on in this discussion doesn't allow
it
to work that way, Kathy. A tree isn't "clickable" unless you're a member
of the site, so if someone isn't willing to post their own tree, they
wouldn't be able to read other people's trees. Therefore, it's to their
advantage to participate in the DNA study, and to post their tree. That

we'll all be sharing information, not just some...

Yep ;~) Hello cousin....well thru my husband that is. I will say that on
the Wells DNA project, they required everyone to have a tree. It has
worked out well, I think it is the largest group project, well over 300,
maybe even 400 by now. I haven't looked at it in years. Sadly, it didn't
help us at all. Too many Wells families, and ours only matched a couple of
others who hadn't gotten as far back as we had. Oh well!!

Well, it might as I have Capt. Thomas CARTER in my mother's family when his

I really do not have a vote in this discussion. I visit the site frequently
because my mother is a Carter going back to Thomas Carter in the 1600's. I
would post my tree, but it would not be supported by DNA so I do not think I
should do so? On the flip side, on my surname Sowers, at other DNA projects
I finally hit an exact match and the match will not communicate. I do not
think any rules will change that type of attitude. So I hope your final
decision is one that will support genealogy research and providing
information is critical.. Good luck Joel

I am looking for help. Since some of the CARTERs came from the tide water
area and settled west of the Blue Ridge in the Shenandoah valley area. I see
there are CARTERs in Loudoun and in Frederick prior to 1836 and which is now
Clarke after 1836. My great grandfather was living in the area of Millwood
and is in several census lists from 1850 to 1890. He is buried in the Old
Chapel graveyard. Is there anybody out there with a link to this area?

The problem lies with the fact that DNA results are no good without a paper
trail; I administer two other DNA sites, and believe me, just having your
DNA displayed helps noone. I get perturbed with people who won't even try
to put together some sort of tree. It doesn't have to be huge and
magnificent. Just a simple descendant tree should suffice. Start with
yourself and go back as far as you can go with the line leading to your
Carters. It's not hard. Brownie MacKie (from Alexander/Anna Minskipe

Exactly, Laurie.
I've retitled my own email here, because I think that some people have
misunderstood the question. We're simply asking that people who participate
in the DNA study be required to provide a tree, when joining the site. Or
at least the name, dates, and location of their earliest known ancestor.
And, just for the record (in case I haven't already made my position on
this pretty clear), I vote "yes", that anyone who joins the site should be
required to provide as much of a tree as possible. And no one is asking for
current, personal information on living relatives...
Some people have suggested that we continue to allow participants to
provide their trees when they feel like it, but unfortunately there are too many
who haven't provided any tree information, and who apparently have
absolutely no intention of ever doing so. This completely inhibits the abilities
of those who've provided trees, in good faith, to dig deeper into their
research.
Most of us have some form of tree already saved on our computers, so it's
not exactly a hardship to ask that participants forward that information to
the site. If someone is serious enough in their research to participate
in a DNA study, then why the reluctance to provide a tree??
Just to repeat -- we're not trying to prevent people from joining the
site, but are simply making it a requirement that if you do join the site, that
you provide a tree. Simple as that...

At the start of the Carter project we didn't want to put restrictions on
any
one who had the desire to join. We wanted "bodies of DNA". I was the most
ignorant of anyone about Carter genealogy and expected to find a match in
no time. As results started coming back it was apparent to all that they

My relative comes from the female side of the Carter tree. I must say that with out your DNA Carter site being open to all I would have never been able to connect with others from our family tree.
As I have traveled across the country doing research I have gathered Carter information that clearly was not my family. Using the DNA site I have been sucessful in connecting the gathered information. After exchange information by way of email I have mailed my copies to the interested people.
Please keep the Carter DNA site open for all.
Vicki, a special Thank You goes out for all the years of work creating and keeping the site updated.
Thanks,
Clara

Hi!
I managed to join the DAR on Alexander Carter of SC. After SC, the family
migrated to Carroll County, TN. I have had my mtDNA tested by 23andMe (full
sequence), and I have a good chart back to Alexander.
Also, I administer the Younger and Bonham DNA groups at FamilyTreeDNA.
*Not sure how to copy and transfer records of DNA from one company to
another (or to your group) but would like to join you.*
Sincerely,
Brownie MacKie
great granddaughter of Rosalie Tennessee
My name is Christy Carter my kit # 93825 my family are also from Sumner Co. and Macon Co. later some of them moved to Allen Co. owned a saw mill there. The family came fron North Carolina, the closest I can get is 1788 N.C.Any way the rest of the family stayed in Sumner Co. I do have my tree posted so you can check it out. I can tell you one of the girls Sarah Carter from Tenn. married a William Carter from Vir. So in this case a Carter married a Carter. I don't really care if I'm related to a President, or Robert (King) Carter I would just like to get past my road block,but I'm not going to try and make the connection if it don't fit. Thanks and I hope this helps.

Helen,
It looks to me as if your cousin/mother are probably descended from Solomon
Carter (born 1822 in TN) who was apparently some kind of relation to the
Solomon Carter (born 1813 in Wilson Co. TN) from whom my husband is
descended (test kit 89246; the DNA is an 11/12 match).
At the moment, your cousin's test and my husband's are both in Group 4,
Haplogroup R1b.
http://www.carter-cousins.org/results/haplogroup_R1b.htm
I do not know how the two Solomons were related. I suspect at the moment
that "my husband's Solomon's" parents could possibly have been either
Alexander & Rhoda Carter, who lived in Rutherford Co. for a while, or a
Thomas & Celia Carter who were in Rutherford Co. for the 1850 census. But I
have no proof in either case.

I have been reading all the activity on the site about DNA testing and posting of trees. Now I am going to put in my two cents worth and it is probably worth less than that.
My original testing was performed in December 2003 and results given to me in January 2004. I was also one of the originals in the DNA testing group. I thought it was a good thing then and still do. DNA test will not solve all of your roadblocks but opens the door for others with the same DNA to share with you. In my group we have people who's surname is not Carter but with research has shown that they are in fact Carter's due to unofficial adoptions by friends of the family. I am think that is some cases some handky-panky took place but that is just something that happens and it can not be changed. That in no way reflects on the living person who is hunting their ancestors.
As to posting of trees on the site, I think everyone should post as much or as little information as they have. We as a group can not help you or ourselves if you won't share. We all starting somewhere with little information and worked from there to where we are today. I have posted as much information as I have gathered on the site but have restricted it myself some what. If you will look at the top of my posting you will see the following statement.
I have chosen not to reveal dates on the seventh (7th) generation and in some cases the sixth (6th) generation in those cases where the individual may be alive. I do this to protect their privacy. I will share those dates if I determine that an individual is a part of that immediate family. I also have information on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th generations that is not posted on this site and again it is not posted to protect their privacy.
To date there has not arisen a case of where information was misused in any way and I have had great success in adding to my data base.
I am not in favor of restricting the site because I am hoping that someday I will make a breakthrough to my ancestors in NJ and before.
There is my two cents worth and it is not my intentions to step on any toes or cause anyone grief. We are now a nation of to much PC and not enough calling a spade a spade or what ever.
My information is post on the carter-cousins.org site under Kit # 14547.

Vicki,
Please do not restrict access to the Carter DNA site.
I located a 4th cousin and he submitted his DNA at my request. He may not
have been willing to do that if he had to provide his family information as
he is not heavily involved in genealogy.
Therefore, I believe we will only be restricting ourselves if we restrict
the site.
Thank you,
Bobby F. Carter, Kit 21320

Judy you are so right.....Bill Carter has already been a great help.Since my info was lost due to a fire ,I have gotten alot of it back,but Bill has sent me a lot more than I had with documention.....I could just hug his neck for heling this old 64 yearold out.

Start your tree. You'd be surprised how many folk can and are willing to
help you. My brick wall breakthrough came about entirely because of the
kindness of another genealogy researcher. He had nothing at all to gain by
sharing, but share he did and am I ever grateful. Let folks here help you.
Most are exceptionally generous with their time and knowledge.

I was the originator of the Carter DNA and some of you may remember me.
Vicki took this monumental task on, and has done a tremendous job ever
since.
My Grandfather was a terrible liar and I did not discover that I should have
been born a Carter until 2002 when I found my father's family, after
searching for them for 30 years.
The paper trail says I should be related to Robert "King" Carter, but the
DNA tells me that paper documentation is wrong. So somewhere, I have names
that are the same, and have picked up the wrong line. Is it with Green
Carter, or Samuel Carter .... I have no idea. Having the family trees of
others to check against is going to be the only way for me to determine
where my research took a wrong turn. DNA will tell me where I belong, if I
can ever find that line. So far no other DNA matches my father. So I also
feel that even something simple needs to be submitted to show what is known
at the time. Someday I hope to update mine with the correct people, but
until I can find a DNA match to my father, my Carter research is at a stand
still and has been for several years now.

I sent an e-mail this morning regarding my Carter lineage and the
interesting fact that noone seems to be from Alexander Carter of SC. I have
a great paper trail, and was recently inducted into the DAR on Alexander.
Also, I've had my mtDNA done by 23&Me full sequence, and if somebody will
tell me how to do it, I will send my results to FTDNA. I haven't heard back
from anybody yet, so I thought I'd try one more time.
