Great to see the postings here on the CARNES mailing list.... All the
Carns/Cairnes/Carnes/Karns/Kairnes/Karnes people must have been
multi-talented to think of all those different ways to spell their
surname..(~_*)
Makes ya' proud to be one of them, doesn't it?
Haven't posted here for awhile so going to take advantage of this time
now...

m. Hattie Hannah
Walter and Hattie had 1 daughter and 8 sons of which all served in armed

In a recent trip to IL, I had the opportunity to meet these CARNs
rellies.. let me say they are great, friendly folks.
In Randolph Co. and other at locations/libraries etc. there is a book "
Family Genelogies of Sparta Illinois" it was compiled by Mrs. Frank S.
Torrens and her daughter Louise M Torrens.
In that publication are listed "CAIRNS" Richard is listed as the first
CAIRNS in that compiled history. I have heard there are several errors
contained there in but there is 5 pages of CARNEs listed... with ALL
variations of the spelling of course.
That history is available at Salt Lake City Family History Center, and
several Co. though out IL, and I'm sure lots of places I'm not aware of.
So this is my story, always willing to share what information I have, or
what I do know. Feel free to contact me if you have CARNS folks you
feel might relate to the above.
