There are two on-going FTDNA Y-DNA projects as far as I know that deal with the Carter
surname. One is the Carter Society DNA project and one is the Carter DNA project. There
are also several Carter DNA groups with Ancestry DNA. There may be some independent DNA
projects dealing with Carter out there on the internet.
The Carter DNA project has an open join policy as does several of the Ancestry DNA
projects and the Y-DNA results are publicly displayed. The Carter Society DNA project
does not have an open join policy and does not display their Y-DNA results publicly.
There are individuals who belong to one or more of these Carter DNA projects or all
three.
Anyone interested in utilizing DNA testing to prove their Carter ancestry is welcome to
join this message group whether you have a family member who has DNA tested or not.
Please remember this is a public forum and you should not say who DNA tested.
