Talk:William Carpenter (Rhode Island colonist)

Untitled
I added genealogical information on William's wife, Elizabeth Arnold, including links to William Arnold (settler) and Benedict Arnold (governor) since both of these articles are being further developed.Sarnold17 (talk) 00:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Reconstructed Y-DNA of William Carpenter of Rhode Island
William Carpenter (Rhode Island) reconstructed Y-DNA is from two published sources online. Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project Group 2 - Table 1 links to Table 2 via red arrows on right side. The line showing for William is the group consensus or group mode. This is the reconstructed DYS markers. http://www.carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#table1 http://www.carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#table2 http://www.carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#table3 http://www.carpentercousins.com/carpdna.htm#table4 Family Tree DNA http://www.familytreedna.com/public/carpenter%20cousins%20%20dna/default.aspx?section=ycolorized Reset markers to Y-DNA 111 and press enter to reset the page. Scroll right on Group 2 to see MODE markers. This is the reconstructed DYS markers. Jrcrin001 (talk) 18:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Genetic research
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project has conducted Genealogical DNA testing on twenty males with genealogical paper trails. Nine males who have incomplete genealogical data but match genetically were placed in subgroups of Group 2. These twenty nine males are believed to be descendant of the immigrant William Carpenter (born about 1610) who settled in Providence, Rhode Island from England.

The haplotype DNA testing of representative samples of members of Group 2 based on Single-nucleotide polymorphism or SNP testing reveals Haplogroup R1a1*.
 * Comment: Below this line has been removed from the article because of Original Research/no Reliable Source. Yet it is nothing but a rewording and table form of what is published on line. I agree that FTDNA should also be cited. But OR & no reliable source? Could it be that the editor wanted citation for the deleted section?

Table 1 shows the reconstructed haplotype of William Carpenter (born about 1605) showing 74 Y-STR markers.

Notes: 1) See List of Y-STR markers for explanation of the markers.

 * A self-published family group website is not a WP:RS. And while we are at it, this is just WP:INDISCRIMINATE information that is not suitable for a general-purpose biography of the man. There is a genetic genealogy wiki site, specifically created for this type of information, and that is the place this material belongs.  Agricolae (talk) 19:42, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
