Sorry if I was not clear. It is currently my opinion that the correct Y-DNA for Robert
"King" Carter has *not* been established. For all I know at this point, Robert
"King" Carter could have been Y-DNA Haplogroup "I".

So, since our Carter family ancestor has a haplogroup of " I ", then we are
NOT related to Robert E Lee?
