Thought this might be of interest for the cousins in this family line.
Hi,
I run
OstenFamily.com (
http://ostenfamily.com), which is dedicated mainly to
Ostens and Harkins, however we have a Carrier in our midst - Julia
Maria/Marie Carrier who was married to William Edward Harkins. She was, as
you probably know, the daughter of Abner Anson Carrier and Laura Anna Carey.
Julia is my gg-grandmother.
Anyways, I was wondering if you could include a link on your page, with a
mention of a focus on Julia Maria Carrier/William Edward Harkins. We have
plenty of people who find us as it is, but it wouldn't hurt. I've included
a link to your site on the public front page, pointing people there who want
to do research on Julia's ancestors.
I don't really want to cover too much above her, since your site does a
great job of it. I've only recently found the time to rebuild and upgrade
OstenFamily.com, and integrate the MediaWiki software with some online
genealogy software so that everybody has a wiki entry on the site and I
couldn't cover too much more than we already are. It's been fun/time
consuming integrating Joomla + photo gallery + forums + The Next Generation
of Genealogy Sitebuilding + MediaWiki as it is, and now comes the fun part
of adding a lot more content.
Thanks,
Chad Osten
