Her father was Ralph Carver b. 1909 either Coffee County or Atkinson County. Ralph died young in 1945, so my friend knows little about this line. Ralph's parents was Charles and Vonnie Carver. Vonnie was married before so there are half children with the surname Merkle or Murkle. Charles' parents were James Monroe and Sarah Carver. His siblings were Pearlie, Matilda, and Jim Jr. I can't find them in the census. The maiden name of Rickettson is either Vonnie or Sarah's. That all we know as we have just started this project.
