Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
My sincere condolences on the passing of both "cousin" Joan and cousin David ( a few years ago). Our families may have lost touch over the many years...but I have always remembered them both, fondly. I am the daughter of Charles Edwin Waltho Carter & Katherine Swartwood Carter's oldest son...my dear dad, Robert W. Carter ( 1926-1993) & Beverly Carter (1926-2014). Now, at 74, I can still remember seeing all of you as a child, when you all visited us in Rochester, NY, many years ago. Hope life has treated you all well. I have spent many years researching family genealogy....and finally made a trip to the UK, last year.
I'd love to hear from you and would appreciate any Carter ancestry info you may have. Would, of course, be glad to share what I have. My email address is mcggshel@yahoo.com. God bless.
Love Shelley
