Charles, My question exactly as I am also seeking a family of CARPENTERs which may or may not be Fr. Canadian. Was'nt Bangor a large lumbering area My Carpenter is also from Sommersworth NH if he proves to be in fact. Just trying to piece things together here. Looks like you have an excellent lead.

Sharyn, Debby and I may find we are related later on down the road but right now we can't make a connection. Bangor was a very big lumbering area and probably still is. When I was there 35 years ago there is a statue of Paul Bunyan outside the town hall. Actually Bangor is a pretty neat place, like the rest of Maine. Trivia Question for all except 'Mainers': What are the two New England states with names the are French in origin? Charlie King Saratoga Co.
