You can reach my cousin Mary Sue Beis at her home in Poplar Bluff, Mo. at 1-877-686-8426. She did a very extensive search on the Caraker Family even back to Germany. My mother was Earlene Caraker daughter of John Franklin Caraker. John Franklin Caraker was the son of Elijah and Dolly (Lence/ Hare) Caraker and it goes on back and links up to Mathias Caraker. Mary Sue's book covers all lines and it is very inexpensive. She will send you a copy through the mail. She does have a E-Mail address but she told me that she was having problems with the E-Mail or her computer. I'll give you her E-Mail address anyway and you can try it. The address is: [email protected] Let me know if it works or not. The phone number I gave you is Toll Free and that is her residence. Also Do you know that their is Northern Cherokee Bloodlines in the Caraker Family ? I have another cousin that knows that part. Write Soon, Mr. Lyndel Revelle
