Neal,
us UK Carriers are still here!
I have the full Carrier database from 1900 back to 1837 when BMD registration began (of
all UK Carrier births), and direct lines from now back to 1729 in Wolverhampton in
Staffordshire.
This region is the starting point of all Carriers in the UK, and probably the origins of
the Salem MA. Carriers that you are all descended from, who emigrated in he early 1600s.
The rumor that they came from Wales (repeated in the Heretic novel) is probably wrong -
it's not a Welsh name - but the Welsh border is only about 30 miles away from
Wolverhampton anyway.
Keep in touch - let's find the missing link to Salem!
