Description
Carpenter & variant names - All Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins are invited.
We are looking for addtional Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins from Canada, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and of course the USA.
There are 3 main lines of Carpenters in the northern part of the USA who are believed to be related back in England. Two are confirmed genetically.
Many of the southern Carpenters may be from these Carpenter lines directly or related through connections in England.
There are many other Carpenter lines of English descent in America, other countries and those still in the United Kingdom still not tested.
Many Swiss or German Zimmerman/Carpenters are confused with the English Carpenters & vice versa.
It is possible, but far from proven, that some of the English Carpenter lines came from France and are related to the French Carpentier (Charpentier) lines.
The 25- or 37- marker test is recommended. Updated Aug 2009 JRC - Join us at:

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.
