Hello to the List,
My name is Kim Gonter and I am hoping to confirm my ancestor, Eugene
CARPENTER (31 Aug 1850 - 19 Mar 1925), as a son of John Sweeting CARPENTER
(b. 1795) and Amanda HITCHCOCK (b. 1811). I did find John and Amanda on
the Carpenter Cousins website, but saw only two children listed.
Searching
FamilySearch.org turned up several records that show my Eugene
Carpenter to be the son of John S. Carpenter and Amanda Hitchcock. If
anyone has any additional information on this relationship, I would
greatly appreciate it.
I kind of stumbled into the family tree stuff, and now I'm trying to clean
up all the information I've "inherited" from various family members.
Thanks,
Kim Gonter
For those interested here is my line:
