This is an update [December 2001] of the original post from February 2000 on
Genforum/Carvin at
http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/latest.cgi?carvin :
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
has 223 CARVINS listed today. If you have a GEDCOM file with CARVINS in it, please submit
it! See info at
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/
See the CARVIN Resource Page at Rootsweb! it's at
http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/c/a/CARVIN/ and has links to many other resources,
including
The Social Security Death Index at Rootsweb, listing 216 CARVIN names today.
[Ancestry.com's SSDI lists 217 CARVIN names.] You can leave a "post-it"
note on any name entry, which I highly recommend to alert and contact other researchers
who run across the same name.
The Rootsweb Surname List, at
http://rsl.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/rslsql.cgi#search which only
has 3 entries -- ADD YOURS TODAY at
http://rsl.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/rsledit.cgi
http://Ancestry.com also has a number of other CARVIN listings, including 250 US
residential telephone listings, and 233 World Tree entries, 41 Civil War Service records,
317 census records, 348 B/M/D records [lots of duplication and given names], 91 military
records, 15 court/probate/land records, and 115 Directory and membership listings. There
is also the message board for CARVIN
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=an&p=surnames.carvin where all
postings are also cross-posted to CARVIN-L mailing list at rootsweb.
http://genealogy.com has almost 360 "hits" for CARVIN, but many are duplicates
of a few FTM-posted genealogies, with 400 entries on various CD's "for sale or
subscription". Their SSDI index only lists 180 CARVINS, so is seriously out of date.
It also has no "post-it" feature for leaving notes.
The LDS site at
http://familysearch.org has 184 CARVIN hits, with a variety of spellings
and countries. It also shows over 200 SSDI hits, but is not updated for year 2000 or 2001
deaths.
http://www.gendex.com:8080/ has 23 CARVIN, 19 CURVIN, 115 CORVIN, and many other similar
names listed, with varying amounts of information, and a link to the submitter.
If YOU know of websites, home pages or other sources for CARVIN material, please post it
to this list! If you have transcriptions of anything CARVIN, post it at the GenConnect
pages [see resource page].
