It was only fairly recently, that I discovererd that my wife's CARPER connections not only came from PA, Lutherans, but that they (some) spent brief times in MD, and Berks Co., and Dauphin Co. So it is, that I am seeking all such connections. Connections that go back at least to Nicholas, who came over in 1732 onboard the SAMUEL. My file is a massive one. It is also one I am willing to freely share from. So please contact me if you know anything, or can do lookups, on this prolific name, which came to Botetourt, Craig, Kanawha Counties in Virginia, and to parts of West Virginia, and other counties. Thanks, Vince Summers
