Good Morning Fellow Researchers, Kenyatta is sharing her information with us. Kenyatta thank you so much! We also have a board to go with our list; and I have to figure out how to send the URL to our board and will do that as soon as possible. I have Carter family connections-but have not done very much research on them-but will add what I do have.
