I am looking for family members of Rev. George Raphael Carpentier, O.P., a Catholic
Dominican priest. Born in Rennes, France in 1887. He came to US with parents at young
age. His father, Georges Carpentier, was reportedly an ordinance officer in the US Navy.
The elder Carpentier may have been naturalized in Virginia.
Rev. Carpentier was ordained in 1913 and served as a chaplain in World War I. Received
the Distinguished Service Cross. Had assignments in Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana and
Oklahoma.
