There is not much space Most Distant Ancestor line on the FTDNA public Y-DNA list. Based
on your input I have changed the death place to VA on both entries in the group.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION FROM THE OLD CARTER WEB PAGE...
So we are doing this from scratch where we have no family information concerning the Most
Distant Ancestor.
I depend on members to supply the info....
Thanks

I am no. 69392 Carter DNA. [ R1b- 11 ] On the Family Tree DNA there is
a
mistake on the location where my Bernard/ Barnett Carter died. It states NC,
but I know in fact he died and was buried in Charlottesville, VA. I have
visited the burial site many times. Also do you have all my Carter info
that was on the orginal Carter DNA site?
