Regards--Dick Craft I'm not sure who you were replying to, but the circumstances of the search sound familiar... Might try: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/a/r/Malcolm-K-Carpenter/index.html I have second person info that my ancestors were supposed to have been from Berks Co., but I not positive about that. Could have been Lancaster! Have not found anything connecting them to Berks at all.. Good luck to whoever, Malcolm "Mike" Carpenter
