Dear Family History Researcher, For AOL - 20 Jan 1998
I was advised that you might be interested in the CARPENTER FAMILY.
For more than twenty years, I have worked on my own line and related
CARPENTER lines. I have built a good size computer data base on the
early CARPENTER Family in France, England and in America. This main data
base has over 30,000 CARPENTER & related names with over 11,000 families.
I also have about 60 other CARPENTER related data files.
As you probably know most CARPENTERS can trace their lineage into
England. But how many know that the research has taken that CARPENTER
line into France to a gentleman called "William 'the carpenter'De
Melun"
who was a knight who had fought at Antioch in Syria during the First
Crusade in 1098 AD?
Many CARPENTER researchers have focused on their pacticular line, where
as I am gathering the roots and descendants of the CARPENTER FAMILY. I
have included corrections to their works and new data as I get them.
I plan to produce a computer CD about the year 2000 AD with the results
of my gathering and compiling of records. My data has the major and
minor CARPENTER branches in and from England dating from the father of
William 'the carpenter' De Melun about 1020 AD. It includes source and
other interesting notes. AND I NEED YOUR HELP!
If I may have your CARPENTER FAMILY data, I will send you what I have
(using GEDCOM) on my main CARPENTER data file in exchange.
GEDCOM or Genealogical Data Communications is a standard way to transport
computer data from one computer program to another. If you do not have
your data on computer, let me know and we will work something out.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please pass my name around to any
other interested researcher on CARPENTERS. I will answer all postal
inquiries. I am on line infrequently.
