Which Samuel Carpenter are we discussing? Is it by any chance Philadelphia?
John, you must get better. All this research will fall apart without you. I will never
forget my first introductioin to you--on a New Year's Eve over a dcade ago when we
were both "celebrating" the coming new year by working on genealogy. I have
always wanted to wirte that updated Samuel Carpenter book we discussed awhile ago, but
work totally gets in my way. Unfortunately, a roof over my head is necessary to store
alll me records - -

Hello everyone,
I also wanted to respond to John's comments and had hoped to do so long before now.
Unfortunately, work seemed to get in the way.
While I certainly appreciate John's comments, I would like to add to the comments of
others that the work that John and Gene have done, and continue to do, is immensely
important to those of us who have just begun this journey. Without their efforts my own
research would have been much more difficult.
So I too wish to thank them both for their dedication to the Carpenter family.
When I started this project it never occurred to me that I would be this successful in
tracing my family. But their efforts have made it all possible for me and for so many
others.
I wanted to also "give back" to the effort and so I decided to work on the
Shalbourne records until I had found each one and had obtained the best images that I
could. I think in the end, "tweaking" the images actually took more time than
actually finding the records.
But I also wanted a way to share them. So I've recently begun experimenting with
"Skydrive".
I've uploaded all of the Shalbourne records to my Skydrive in a public folder and you
can see them and/or download them from there...just follow the link below.

If you have difficulty with the link, just send me an e-mail and I can forward a link to
you by email.
Enjoy!

Hello,
Recently, Bill Quinn, who is recovering from a very serious accident (see below) was going
through some of the surviving Shalbourne parish records. This is very tedious work which
requires a trained eye and dedicated obsession. I thank him for this amazing task of
confirmation.
Bill has confirmed that the first Samuel Carpenter of William & Abigail (Briant)
Carpenter was baptized on 1 Mar 1636/1637 in Shalbourne Parish, Berkshire, now in,
Wiltshire, England. He died there on 20 Apr 1637. See emails below.
William Carpenter is RIN 584 (b. abt 1605 d. 7 Feb 1658/1659 of Rehoboth, Bristol, MA ) in
the CE 2009 data DVD.
Gene Zubrinsky who has dedicated a lot of time and effort toward the Carpenter Sketches
and related Carpenter material is also ill. His efforts to teach, correct and to provide
an example is awe inspiring.
Please take a moment to say a little prayer or reflect a moment for these two dedicated
Carpenter Researchers. I personally wish them a full recovery and clear sailing!

Subject: Burial Record of Samuel Carpenter, Shalbourne, England Hi Gene and John, I’m
still slowly recovering from my motorcycle accident which was in July.
It’s been a long haul but I’m making good progress.
So I’m getting back into my family history.
I plan to go to the Family History Center today and continue scanning the Bishop’s
Transcripts for Shalbourne.
I have identified William-2 and Abigail Briante’s marriage record.
I have William-3’s christening.
I also have Samuel’s burial and I’ve attached that here.
“Somewhere” between the marriage record and Samuel’s burial should be the pages with John,
Abigail, Joseph, and Samuel’s christening….if they are all there.
I’m sure you both know how challenging it is to focus and read these transcripts. It
sometimes needs to be done two or three times on different sections of the same page….
Anyway, I have the film on extended rental and will try to get the best scans I can
manage.
On Tuesday I submitted my application to the Founders and Patriots of America….should be
no problem. I buried them with documentation.
I included your sketches as well Gene.
...
Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
And John, you should feel free to share the record of Samuel’s burial with the other
“Carpenter Cousins”.
Bill

Subject: Re: Burial Record of Samuel Carpenter, Shalbourne, England Thanks a million,
Bill.
I'm glad to know that you're mending well, albeit slowly. You must have gotten
really banged up.
Locations of remaining baptismal records:
John's begins on the 22nd line for the year 1626.
Abigail's begins on the 5th line for the year 1629.
Joseph's begins on the 3rd line for the year 1634.
Samuel's begins on the 6th line from the end of the christenings list for 1636.
Best, Gene

Subject: RE: Burial Record of Samuel Carpenter, Shalbourne, England Thanks for the tips
Gene, that helped.
Attached is Samuel’s christening and as you point out Gene, it starts at the 6th line from
the end of the christening section.
I may be overly obsessive about how I do this.
I do my best to maximize the clarity of the entry I’m looking for. That means darkening,
lightening, etc.
I then do the same for the top of the page showing the title, year, etc.
Then I do the same thing trying to balance the entire page.
So I actually end up with three (at least) jpeg files for item, one for each purpose.
The attached is the best I could do for reading Samuel’s entry. I’ll also send a scan of
the entire page for 1636.
I’ve located Abigail and will forward that next.
Somehow it appears I may have skipped 1626 for John. I also hadn’t noticed that some of my
partial page scans had drifted off the edge so I need to go back anyway.
With all the two of you do to contribute to the Carpenter effort, I’m very pleased to be
able to do this.
And if LDS ever digitizes this film, I’ll do it again…-J Bill
