I would keep your line in for the very scenario you have stated. There are lots of reason
your DNA doesn't match what has already been collected. I am not saying either set is
wrong. I had one where they were adopted and that was eventually proven. Your scenario
is that you might match someone who has yet joined which was my case in another DNA group.
Months later some of my mystery have been solve only to show others. Such as how do you
match this family when we both don't show a link other than through DNA? I would vote
stay put till shown by Vicki or another admin that you belong some where else. I have
seen all DNA admin more than helpful in regards to this scenario of matching or not
matching. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Subject: Re: [CARTER-DNA] New Test Results
Vickie,
Under Haplogroup R1a of which my Dad is part (14437), kit nos. 110207,
115311, 14440, 15591 and 53965 are all grouped. And while I have my
research documented, I do not match with kit 32390 who also has researched
out to Charles Carter of Essex Co, VA. So something is wrong with my line
since I do not match up to them. There could be several scenarios, for
example a relative Carter dies and their son is taken in and raised by my
line somewhere.
So what I am wondering is, because I am a fit and closely numbered with R1a
Group, does that mean, that I am still a Carter descendant or can I descend
from another surname altogether?
I am terribly confused over DNA and the Haplogroups, so hope you can help to
clarify some of this.
Also, should I take my Descendant chart out of the DNA website since it
appears to be wrong?
Thanks Margaret
