If you happen to run across this blog whilst Googling “Cartter,” then you probably have an interest in my family. Feel free to drop a comment here, or e-mail me directly. If you e-mail me, be sure you include “Cartter” in the subject. Spam is getting heavier and heavier, and I am loathe to stop using this e-mail account.

So – how are you related? What is your connection? Are you a direct member of my immediate family, or are you connected closer to the trunk of the family tree?

How are you keeping track of the connections? Software? What brand? Paper and Pencil like my grandfather did?

I am looking forward to hearing about you.
