Bear in mind, the Y-DNA is never passed on by a female relative!

My kit 14463 is to Capt. Thomas Carter and traced back to my mother's side
for a close match and not my CARTER father side. We get some odd twists from
time to time.

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] KIT # 88894
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!
