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?

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Get the most out of your Family Finder Test
There is an option in the Family Finder reports to choose to show
Matches
in
Common with you. This will only work if you have assigned someone a
relationship status and they have confirmed it. What I would suggest is
for
everyone who shows as predicted 3rd cousin or below that you ASSIGN them
at
least the status of Distant Cousin. If they confirm, then you can see
their
matches in common with you. People don't understand this at so they don't
get the full value of the FTDNA database.
If someone says they don't know why you assigned them Distant Cousin, just
tell them that is the only way you can find hidden matches with others.
Just remember, if someone shows in your Family Finder list they ARE
genetically related to you.... and you may or may not have an identifiable
paper trail.
