I see 2 Kits in Carter group I-09.
I - 09
76255 Albert Unknown b 1861 Douglas Co Illinois
101577 Albert Melvin Carter b 1861 Tuscolia, IL
From your message it is not clear if you are associated with the Y-DNA
Donor of either of these 2 Kits.
The colors indicate where the Markers do not match. It seems very odd to me that a man
born in 1861 would have 2 living descendants with 2 non-matching Markers in the first 12
Markers. That is a surprise.
