Message Board Post:
There are two Michael Carvers (Gerber/Garber) who came into the Philadelphia at about the
same time. Are you talking about the one who had the son Chistian (Christopher) Carver
who married the two Ziegler sisters in North Carolina. That Michael died in North
Carolina.
If so, I would like to know how you know the name of his wife. I am a professional
researcher who travels to Germany twice a year to do research for myself and others. I
have PROVEN many German lines for clients but have been unable to PROVE this
"Carver" line for myself.
We "know" that those who came into the U.S. at that time were more than likely
from the Palatinate but since the name Gerber is an occupational name, Gerbers who live
next door to each other might not be related. It is a very common name.
I am very eager to correspond with anyone who is searching this line. Look forward to
your reply.
