To the list:
If Vickie is unable to continue with this, I believe she would in some way make
it known. Didn't one of the previous messages say someone had been in contact
with her in early June. I see she has a facebook page. If someone knows her
personally, they could friend her. If not I will friend her.
Her maiden name is Carter, just as mine is and I've been a member of
carter-cousins since she started it. And I don't remember she created this
website as a part of FamilyDNA. I remember in the early days she developed the
grouping sheet she uses; she might have had some insight as how to do it from
Family DNA, but I don't think she is a representative of that company or
represents them in any way.
I don't think enough time has elapsed to just bail her out of this. She has put
in way too much work on this project. There has to be other avenues and
resources in order to contact her or let her contact us. Hopefully she's
enjoying the white beaches of somewhere.
I'll friend her on FB if I don't hear back from one of you,
Sandra Carter Van Wyk

Most other surnames are hosted on-site by Family Tree DNA but Carter is one of
the few surnames that Family Tree DNA "outsourced".
In my opinion, if Vickie is no longer running the show then Family Tree DNA
needs to reclaim it. Right now it looks like the Carter Surname Project is just
sitting in a void. It's hard to get new Carter men to do the Y-DNA test when
the Project is sitting there dead.

I didn't think there was a relationship between Family tree and Carter
cousins. I thought Vickie was hosting a site where we could submit our
results and hopefully meet other cousins to compare and discuss our roots...
