Hi Listers.
I'm just thrilled with all of the information bouncing around on our Carden
families.
Randolph is my line. I have noticed several of my fellow Carden researchers
of this particular line that have responded to the latest roll call. I do
hope the rest of the group will also post their research. This could be a
very valuable resource for future researchers as well as ourselves. The
following information is my direct line.
