I must comment on the comments of John and Bruce. My hat goes off to both of you for tracing your Carpenter lineage back that far. However when did religeous beliefs determine the way you research. Everyone has different beliefs. You are entitled to that. Name calling etc. get no one no where. I hope some day I can get past my Rueben and don't even dream of getting as far as you gentlemen. But if I do find a rat in the woodpile so what. I'm not responsible for the doings of those gone before me. Elizabeth
