This Zimmerman - Carpenter line is represented primarily by Group 11 of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project. And then by Group 6 with at one other minor Carpenter line that is part of Group 98.
A son of George Zimmerman-92093, named John Carpenter-11689 via his grandson Edward, has descendants who are part of Group 6 of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project.
AND to make things more interesting yet, one other son of the claimed descendant of Edward is part of Group 98.
YES - John Carpenter-11689 is cited as C#11689 in both Groups 6 and 11 as a common ancestor.
The Group 11 descendants are in two categories.
1) Those both genetically and genealogically connected. This includes those who are reasonably believed to be related but are not proved. Read the NOTES.
2) Those that match genetically but are NOT connected genealogically. See the "UNATTACHED LINEAGES" on the first page of the Descendant Report. This technique to provides those detached or unconnected descent lineages and to recognize them for their genetic connectiveness to Group 2.
Group 6 descendants are in two categories.
1) Those both genetically and genealogically connected. This includes those who are reasonably believed to be related but are not proved. Read the NOTES.
2) Those that match genetically but are NOT connected genealogically.
The Carpenter Cousins web project is an effort to update and correct Carpenter/Zimmerman and related names.
Details for those living have been minimized to names only for privacy.
Y-DNA testing allows the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project to tell the genetic difference between these two groups and many others.
The number after the surname is a record information number (RIN) from the Carpenter Cousins Project master genealogical database. See: The Carpenter Cousins Project
Group 11 and Group 6 have unique genetic profiles compared to other Carpenter/Zimmerman groups within the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project. See much more at the Carpenter Cousins web page at: https://carpentercousins.com - The Carpenter Cousins Project is part of the Guild of One Name Studies.
This file does and will contain mistakes. Verification is always needed of any data.
Generally speaking, the better the documentation, the better the data is. READ THE NOTES!
