Thanks. Kris >> To the best of my knowledge is it by Rosemary E Bachelor. She published The Carpenter Family News-Journal for several years. From the Journal she went to The Epistle. That publication had her four families: Batchelor, Carpenter, Rice and Richmond. They were both monthly publications that had her research as well as research from other. It is my understanding that the books she is going (or has) publishedare from these publications. So it wouldn't be ALL Carpenters but it should include a great deal of information. I've not seen the books so I can't be specific. Carolyn
