Anita, Gene Zubrinksy, John Chandler, Terry Lee Carpenter and to a much lesser extent I, have reviewed many English Carpenter wills when they started coming on line in 2004. Yes, they are hard to read with old style writing and verbiage. It takes patience and more patience to read them. A review of these wills found a significant error in the Carpenter English ancestry in 1984. Please see the following link from Dec 1984 for more details. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/a/r/John-R-Carpenter/FILE/0041text.txt The following link shows some of the English wills reviewed as of July 2004. http://members.cox.net/johnrcarpenter/English%20Wills%2024%20July%202004.doc As time and more new wills come online, we will review more of them. They cost 3.50 English pounds (about $7.00 US) to download. Sharing the information reduces the research costs. If anyone has down loaded one of the Carpenter wills that are not on the list, please forward me a copy. I will make sure that the Carpenter Will researchers listed above have a chance to review it. Maybe it will be the "one" most needed! John R.
