Biography
Russ Carter is a member of the Carter Name Study Project.
I am one of the administrators of the Carter Surname Project at FamilyTreeDNA.com.
I started researching my family in 2008 when my father gave me 5 boxes of pictures that had belonged to my grandmother LV (Hulet) Carter (1919-2005) and great-grandmother Etta Adaline (Summers) Carter (1893-1982).
My great-grandmother was into genealogy and had collected and saved family photographs from her and my great-grandfather's parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and cousins.
When researching my Carter paternity, I quickly discovered who my 3rd great-grandparents were and discovered that this was the brick wall for the family and had been for nearly 20 years. It would remain our brick wall until 2013 when an autosomal DNA study involving several of my 3rd, and 4th cousins, pointed us to the correct family. With the available records, we were able to eliminate two of three sons. In 2015, I finally found the one record that tied my 3rd great-grandfather to his father, Joshua Carter (1760-1831). This also broke long-standing brick walls for descendants of my 3rd great-grandfather's siblings.
Big Y testing advanced my tree from Benjamin Carter (abt.1700-aft.1754) a New Jersey Quaker, to his uncle's family, William Carter (abt.1660-bef.1711) of Virginia, a member of Christ Church in Middlesex, VA.
