All I have is the name William Carr and that he was an attorney. He is listed as the father of My aunt, who was born 1899, St. Louis, MO. But I have never actaully found her birth or Baptism Record. There was a more famous Carr family in St. Louis at that time, and attorneys, but the Wm Carr is that family was not married. Of course, he could still be a father.....but couldn't prove it. On my aunts school records and some other records, her father is listed as Wm Carr Attorney. Of course I am assuming he was from St. Louis. Most of my family are of early French Connections.
