For serious researchers of Carpenter and related families, there is a
conference in the metro Louisville, Kentucky area, August 29 - 31, 2003. Friday,
August 29th includes a trip to the Sons of the American Revolution National
Genealogical Library where 78 volumes of materials about Carpenter histories are
housed (averaging 200 pages per volume) and a full day of topics and discussion
on Saturday, August 30th. The conference, called The Carpenter Cousins
Conference, will be held at the Holiday Inn Lakeview. This is the second year for
the conference. The initial conference was held in Clearwater, Florida in 2002.
This is not a reunion. The conference is designed to bring together people
already involved in family histories (genealogy) of Carpenter and related
families for sharing of information and future networking with one another. For
