I am not related to most of the people I post about but when I find something
I post in hopes it might help someone & hoping that maybe someone else will do
the same so I can find my missing CARR�s. Don�t forget to go to the archives
of this list [on
Rootsweb.com] and search the past messages for your
Carr/Kerr/or with one r [it can be spelled both ways]. PLEASE SHARE. Hope this
helps someone. Several people have searched the archives of this list and
found
links, here�s hoping you do also. If you need John Fendall CARR the Rev
Soldier
of TN-NC-VA, William CARR m. Alsey of VA,or can help me with them or William
CARR d. 1760 or William CARR d. 1711, or Thomas CARR the emigrant, please let
me hear from you!!!! Right now I just can�t go to a library due to my asthma
[yes asthma can kill you, 3 days on a ventilator & 3 in ICU] and am taking
care
of my mother age 93y. When I have asthma problems I try to forget about it and
doing genealogy helps.
