Hi all, Roberta Estes has a great free walk-through webinar about how to do the FTDNA > MyHeritage tree transfer, all that is and is NOT involved, and what your choices will mean over time. I plan to transfer all the trees I control; first downloading a list of the linked matches so I can check each one when I have time. It is probably important to give your project admin some power over those trees just in case something happens and your assigned person is unable to administer your account. Also important: giving MyH the permission to keep FTDNA apprised of tree changes. It's also important to see what you control on each platform. Deadline is September 9 for some of the choices. I think in the end this will be a good thing. All the best, Valorie -- she/her. "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them." - Marcus Aurelius

Roberta Estes has a new blog post about the latest from FTDNA, which I found on the Wikitree G2G Forum. Sneak Preview: Introducing the FamilyTreeDNA Group Time Tree - https://dna-explained.com/2023/01/13/sneak-preview-introducing-the-familytreedna-group-time-tree/ This is absolutely awesome. Every surname I checked, except Goosic, which has no project, shows a nice grouping, even the tiny Basinger project which I adopted and have done nothing with. On that one, I need to write to the testers and ask them to fill out their most distant known direct-line male ancestor so that that shows up in the map. Absolutely thrilled to see what is known about my father's Cowans and my mother's McBees, and my grandfather Cowan's mother's McPhersons look promising too. My husband's Zimmerman test result is very separated from the rest of the men in that project, still. I think this tool will make the work of project admins easier, and the value of Big Y testing much more clear to both those who have tested, and those we want to invite into the "tree of humankind." I look forward to similar trees for the mitochondrial haplogroups. Valorie -- Valorie Cowan Zimmerman Gedmatch SQ780327C1 | mtDNA H1ac

Roberta Estes has a good new blog with screenshots, etc. explaining why and how to join FTDNA groups. How to Join a Project at FamilyTreeDNA – And Why You Want To: https://dna-explained.com/2021/11/09/how-to-join-a-project-at-familytreedna-and-why-you-want-to/ Now is a great time to look into it, while Family Tree DNA is having a sale. ?

The Carpenter Cousins Project is part of the Carpenter global One Name Study. The primary surnames in the project is Carpenter with the variants Carpender, Carpentier, Charpentier and Zimmerman. To account for immigrants to North America, who may have anglicized or modified their surnames, the project also includes the surnames Cymerman, Sherbondy, Zimmer, Zimmerman, and Zimmermann. For example, Zimmerman(n) is old German for worker of wood, and in North American, on occasion, the surname was changed to Carpenter or a similar sounding surname. There is an established Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA (surname) Project for Carpenters/Zimmermans and related surnames. For example, see the basic lineage page of members at: https://carpentercousins.com/generallineage.htm Is your Zimmerman ancestry part of Groups 5, 7, 11, 14, 19, 27 or 31? See also the Y-DNA marker profiles for various group at the FTDNA version at: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/carpenter%20cousins%20%20dna/default.aspx?section=ycolorized Please note you may need to resize the FTDNA page from 500 to 5000 to see all members tested. Or you can use the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project main page, Y-DNA results tables (Table 1-4) via the Table of Contents page at: https://carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#toc – This pages includes those tested from other Y-DNA testing companies. Some Groups have genealogical descendant reports online. See the left side of the main web page below. If you have any questions please contact me at: jrcrin001@... or reply all to this list. John R.

My husband Bob Zimmerman's brother's BigY kit results arrived two days ago, so I followed up by joining his kit to the Carpenter Cousins Y DNA project. In his welcome email, the friendly admin sent along some great resources. This one is so clear and simple! yDNA SNPs and Genealogy: https://sites.google.com/site/ydnasnpsandgenealogy/terminal-snp-basics. Here's a quote: SNPs are considered “once in a lifetime,” or maybe better stated, “once in the lifetime of mankind” type of events, known as a UEP, Unique Event Polymorphism, where STRs happen “all the time,” in every haplogroup. ...A numeric position on the DNA chain that mutates is then called a SNP. Once found it is given a new number prefixed by a letter code defining the researcher and is tested afterwards by the new identification.. By the way, IMO, it is possible to find a terminal snp (happens every 150 years or so) even within family branches in genealogical time. In theory therefore, you, yourself, could have a new personal terminal snp, which would then be found in all your descendants “forever”. That is what had to happen in the first person who defined a new sub-haplogroup such as e1a1 and in all the downstream subhaplogroups. This concept is the basis for my hope of the two additional Phelps for doing a big y: a family branch SNP. I hope to establish a Zimmerman-from-Ostfriesland family subclade/subhaplogroup. So far, it is known as G-FT19545. For the past couple of years, Bob's haplogroup was called G-FT19842, but has now been changed to G-FT19545, since Ron's test resolved all but one "private variant" which means no tester has yet confirmed that single SNP on FTDNA. Right now, Bob & Ron are in group 99 of Carpenter Cousins on this page: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/carpenter%20cousins%20%20dna/default.aspx?section=ycolorized. Search for G-FT19545 and you'll see both brothers. The above page links to a video Using SNP Testing & STRs to Enhance a Genetic Genealogy Research Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlxvdayxZiI. This is good, especially if you are considering launching a project. I've watched only the first video; there are three 20 minute videos in the series. If you have not yet thought about DNA testing, now is a great time to consider it. All the companies will be having holiday sales. For Y DNA, there really is only one company to consider: FamilyTreeDNA. If you have already tested your autosomal DNA you can upload it there for free, and I hope you will also upload a gedcom and use that tree to link your matches. Big Y is a game-changer though. There are enough men who have tested, and the costs have come down far enough that it is becoming an increasingly important tool for genealogy research. I'm really excited to see what we'll learn in the next few years! Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez - pronouns: she/her

I'm happy to say that my husband Bob Zimmerman's brother Ron has sent off his Big Y kit! This should resolve Bob's "unnamed variants" and give us a solid foundation to recruit a few more Zimmerman/ns from Bob & Ron's line, which was in Ostfriesland in 1850. They were called 'kolonist' on some early census of the area, which was reclaimed from the sea, so we know they came from elsewhere. But where? They went from Germany to Illinois in 1850. Bob's confirmed haplogroup is G-FT19842 but that will probably change with Ron's kit and a new-named terminal SNP. John, is the Carpenter-Cousins Y DNA project considering doing anything with the Big Y results, or are they too rare still? I have not noticed FTDNA tools to help with grouping them yet.

I just logged into FamilyTreeDNA and found that they have updated his confirmed haplogroup to G-FT19842. Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez - pronouns: she/her

Hello, My name is John Carpenter and I run the Carpenter Cousins Project. This includes Zimmerman(n)s. See our lineage page for examples at: https://carpentercousins.com/generallineage.htm 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, Zimmer, Zimmerman, Zimmermann. For example, Zimmerman(n) is old German for worker of wood, and in North America, on occasion, the surname was changed to Carpenter. The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project, an independent public surname project, is focused on the male Y-Chromosome. It was started in 2002. We track Carpenter/Zimmerman and related such names via Y-DNA in this public Y-DNA surname study. For this reason we do not track or use mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) or atDNA (autosomal DNA aka Family Finder) and other DNA tests in the Y-DNA Project. We have another Carpenter-1-Name DNA Project at FTDNA for those tests.. We need Y-DNA testing for this Y-DNA surname project. We accept Y-DNA tests from ALL DNA TESTING COMPANIES. For more details please go to our Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project web page at: http://carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project is part of the Carpenter Cousins Project. The Carpenter Cousins Project started as the Carpenter CD Project in 1997. ''All'' biological male Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins are invited to submit a join request. This project is open to all Carpenter Cousins globally. Female Carpenter/Zimmerman Cousins are encouraged to sponsor a biological male Carpenter/Zimmerman relative and to submit a join request. The surname ''Carpenter'' is registered with the Guild of One Name Studies. See: https://one-name.org/name_profile/carpenter/ - see also: https://one-name.org The volunteer administrators of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project includes a member of ISOGG, the Guild of One Name Studies, and also follows the ISOGG Project Administrator Guidelines. I am happy to answer questions on this Zimmerman forum or by private email. John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA USA https://carpentercousins.com jrcrin001@...
