Dear Carolyn, The Carpenter CD Project will be distributed to various organizations 1- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The Mormons or LDS Church) to help correct the errors in the Ancestral File. 2- The Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, MA for all Carpenter Researchers to use. They have also requested if they can use it as a fund raiser. 3-The New England Genealogical & Historical Society for their collection. 4- My local Family History Center and Genealogical Libraries. In addition several English Societies have requested copies as well as many individuals. I plan to produce a qaulity CD for everyone at the best price. I am hoping to get the CD out at cost (materials) if at all possible. I have not determined the best cost factor for creating the CDs. While it appears that having 1,000 copies made may be slightly more expensive than buying a CD burner and producing them to order. The quality and durability of a "burned" CD and homemade labels is a concern. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing about it. Sincerely, John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA PS - I will also do a few hard copies of the data in book format with a alpha listing of all names.
