honest, simple, down-to-earth sharing of free information about our
Carpenter ancestors. Do we equate "quality" with "price?"

" He has devoted almost 60 years to research, and has made over 20 trips to
England. In addition he has visited every locality on this continent from
Nova Scotia to California where the family has lived. In short, it has been
his principal amusement since 1941."
It seems amazing to me that anyone would think this amount of effort and
research should be free. By the same reasoning, all genealogy books and cds
such as Family Tree maker produces should be free? Maybe the whole
genealogy publishing business is some sort of Norman/English plot......
Usually, quality is associated with price, with most things, that's how the
world works.
