Description
The Carpenter Cousins Project is a global One Name Study. The primary surname in the project is Carpenter with the variants Carpender, Carpentier, and Charpentier.
To account for immigrants to North America, who may have anglicized their
surnames, the project also includes the surnames Cymerman, Sherbondy,
Simmerman, Timmerman, Timmermann, Zimmer, Zimmerman, Zimmermann. For
example, Zimmerman(n) is old German for worker of wood, and in North American, on occasion, the surname was changed to Carpenter.
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project is an independent, citizen science, public surname study covering Carpenter, Zimmerman and related surname variants.
''All'' biological male Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins are invited to submit a join request.
Female Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins are encouraged to sponsor a biological male Carpenter/Zimmerman relative and to submit a join request.
This Y-DNA surname project is open to all Carpenter Cousins globally.
PLEASE NOTE: The sister project is called the Carpenter-1-Name Project and it accepts all other types of DNA tests at FTDNA like atDNA (Family FInder) and mtDNA tests for the Carpenter One Name Study.
The surname ''Carpenter'' is registered with the Guild of One Name Studies. See:
https://one-name.org/Results/Carpenter

This Y-DNA project is not a Haplogroup or Haplotype project, it is not a geographic or area project, it is not a deep ancestry project, nor do we track mitochondrial (mtDNA) or autosomal DNA (atDNA or Family Finder) results. This is a Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA surname Project only covering Carpenter/Zimmerman and related surnames.
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project is designed for those Carpenter/Zimmerman and related surnames who are seeking a genetic relationship to help complete a genealogical paper trail back to a common ancestor. We use ID codes and/or the word living to protect our members’ and relatives’ privacy.
Genetic genealogy requires sharing your ancestry and your genetic Y-DNA profile by showing proof of genetic triangulation. We use your Y-DNA markers to create a genetic profile or fingerprint. Those matching others are placed into groups that show their genetic and genealogical relationships to other group members. It is this combination that defines true genetic genealogy.
The 37 marker Y-DNA test is recommended.

Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
