The Cartter family name was traced out by my paternal grandfather, Bruce Lanpher Cartter, in the book “The Wisconsin Cartters.” He included ancillary families and used the family farm in Black River Falls, Wisconsin as a starting point for the Wisconsin Cartters. I have been making some attempts to update his writings, but with working full time, chasing six dogs and five cats, serving on two boards, and being active in church I find I have very little spare time.

Let’s see what happens, shall we?
