The FFrench pedigree is listed in the group.... I would suggest to anyone
when you do your Y-DNA matches do not just limit it to the Carter DNA or
Carter Society DNA project but run it against the entire FTDNA database.
There appears to be more Carter surname matches with this I-03 Group at the
67 marker level and beyond when you look at the entire FTDNA database.

Subject: RE: [CARTER-DNA] Carter Lineage Group I - 03
Am I right in saying that, while we probably share a common ancestor (which
I don't doubt), there is no way to be sure (with the current state of
knowledge) as to whether that common ancestor was a Carter or a French, or
something else altogether? To prove who descended from whom, we would need
some cooperative Frenches whose known French line goes back further than our
Jacob, plus confirmation that the said Frenches lived in sufficient
proximity to the ancestors (or at least, candidates for the ancestors) of
Jacob Carter (who are, unfortunately, unknown).

In Carter Lineage Group I - 03 the probability on 111 markers that the
families represented by Kit # 29811 (Carter), 220045 (Carter) and 96136
(French) shared a common ancestor.
A generation is usually considered to be 20 - 25 years....
Generations/ Percentage
4 85.19%
8 98.82%
12 99.92%
16 100.00%
20 100.00%
24 100.00%
I would certainly like those odds in Vegas.....
