Like Teri, I seek information on a Mystery Carter, who seems to have
sprung full-grown from the brow of Zeus, or maybe was deposited by
aliens in the Atlanta area by December of 1919, when he married my
grandmother, Alma Irene Mulligan. (I ask about him periodically, in case
there's someone new on the list.). Does this ring any bells? He named
his children by this marriage Margaret Frances Carter and Stephen Brian
Carter. Might any of these names connect with other branches of
Carters? He allegedly died in December of 1931, place unknown.

My most wanted Carter appears to have arrived on the planet Earth by
miracle. The poor man doesn't seem to have any parents, and you'd
think, with such a common name as John Carter, the man would have lots
of possible parents! Oh well, his "information" is listed below. I
hope to hear from others who may have broken through this Carter brick
wall! Thank you, Teri in Minneapolis
