Thanks Kathryn,
I might give that a try. I have a genealogy trail back to Capt. Thomas
Carter on my mother's side, but that would not have gotten me a Y-DNA match.
It may be possible that my mother and father were related 400 years ago. I
think our sanity is safe, at least on that point.
John

Dear John,
Looking at the results chart at
http://www.carter-cousins.org/results/haplogroup_R1b.htm
I don't see that expanding to more markers with FTDNA is likely to lead you
to any new discoveries within your group.
Have you considered testing with 23andMe?
https://www.23andme.com/
Their test is very different--you'll get your Y chromosome haplotype, plus a
vast amount of other information, but you won't get the STR data that FTDNA
checks. Their current price is $99 plus $9 a month for one year.
Take a look at their "Relative Finder" tool (and an independent review from
DNA Testing Adviser).

I am not connected in any way to any of the DNA testing companies--please
don't think I'm trying to solicit business for them. Just looking at all the
possible sources of information.
Best,
Kathryn

I am interested, I need to budget the cost in. I think part of the
problem
is there were several Carter lines in the part of VA where my great
grandfather was. Some came from PA as or with the Quakers and some came
from
the tidewater area of VA. Locking down which group and been a
struggle.

I see two kits in your group who have tested beyond 37 Markers: 76388,
162741
If you expand beyond 37 Markers, you may be able to clarify your
relationship with these two kits. I don't know if that is something that
is
of interest to you.
