In June 1994 I spent the morning at the Norfolk Public Library (Main
Branch), Virginia. They have a Genealogy Room (Sargents Room). Its pretty
impressive if you are doing research on Virginia. Well, I concentrated on
"Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy", William Wade Hinshaw, Vols
I-VI, Edwards Brothers, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan. Yes! I know there is a
great deal in those books but following are extracts to any CARMAN surname
indexed in each volume. If an entry for CARMAN was not indexed, I would
have missed it.
VOL I No CARMANs indexed
