When Vicki started Carter-cousins it was partly because we had a regular
'Carter' e-mail list. Then, when we started talking about DNA....some of
them on the old list got very upset and said they didn't want us talking
about DNA on the list because they were getting too much e-mail and/or
because they did not like the idea of DNA. So Vicki started a 'Carter-DNA'
list. I think I am still on both, but don't get anything from the old
list anymore. I think everyone eventually realized how important the DNA
was, and they dropped out of the regular 'Carter' list. That was possibly
about 10 years ago....not exactly sure. But I was supportive of doing DNA,
so I was happy with all of the work that Vicki did, and has done.
Thanks, Kathy.

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Carter Groups on Yahoo Groups
I have two Carter groups on Yahoo Groups. One is for Carter Y-DNA
Haplogroup "Q". The other is for Giles Carter, Sr. of Henrico County,
Virginia.
Robert Carter "of Cartersville" was my ancestor:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CartersvilleVA/
My Carter family has often been "entangled" with the family of Giles Carter,
Sr. of Henrico County, Virginia. That's why I created the second group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Giles_Carter/
Four different claims have been made for the Y-DNA Haplogroup of Giles
Carter, Sr. of Henrico County, Virginia; "I", "Q", "R1a",
"R1b". I'm trying
to identify the correct one.
If you can't find a Carter group on Yahoo Groups that is for your Carter
line, you could create one. It's easy to do. It only takes a few steps.

We are awaiting our kit, so that my husband, Richard Carter, can
submit a new and higher level DNA sample.
There are some amazing groups for surnames in Yahoo groups, but its
almost impossible to do a search and be able to narrow it down.
We have one for the surname Douglass, which is my maiden name. They
have done some amazing research, but I cannot find anything that comes
near for the Carter name. It would take me months to wade thru what I
have found so far.
Hopefully Vickie will come back and communicate with us.
