Our family pronounces it Gay die. And there are several. Ours are Gadi Carter's from Robeson Co. N.C. They moved westward ending up in California stringing Gadi Carter's along the way in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. We also were told that they were Portuguese and that they had come from across the water and that was bad. So not much is known about them but they the Carter's were all dark skinned , black haired and black eyed. But some also look like American Indians.
