Hi BETTE,
You should have gotten a list of marker numbers from FTDNA....or at least
your cousin should have and hopefully he will give them to you.
Then go to the Carter cousin website and check the Capt Thos Carter marker
numbers and compare the two sets. They should be fairly close, or with
only a couple of fast mutating numbers off.
Kathy.

It was my hope by having my male Carter cousin take the dna that I would be
able to find someone who might have a connection since I can only go back to
1814 to Ohio with no knowledge of his father name or other sibblings except
the knowledge from a census that his parents lived in Chester PA.. And, they
would know more info or be able to provide a lead.
So the dna thing was a long shot (but this male cousin is the last male of
the Carter line here.
It would have been nice to be able to compare with other Carter's.
I hope things will get straightened out on the website. It seem like things
were up and running with Vickie & Dick when I e-mailed on June 3.

Anyone is welcome to look at my kit # 88894. My ancestor is CYRUS HARRISON
CARTER.
Knowing what I now know, I WOULD NOT participate in any group DNA project
because the results is only as good as the reliability of information shared
between matching groups...of which I have no definitive match and probably
never will.
I also have concerns as to the end results and disposal of the DNA samples,
what with this crazy scientific world we live in. I can imagine that someday
in the year 2035, a future descendant will tour a zoo and remark that some
creature, "looks a lot like Grandpa Carter," that being me. Anyway, at my
age, I'm a lot closer to meeting my ancestors in Heaven than trying to find
DNA links, and/or, a documented paper trail.
I figure all the Carter Clan is related, so hello to all my cousins. I wish
all of you the best of luck. I'm really not a pessimist, I'm a realist!
