My Life and Family
I'm a retired emergency planner for the gas and electric public utility on Long Island, New York. I'm a graduate of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. My husband, Charlie, is an engineer and retired from Grumman. We have two daughters and five grandchildren.
My Interests and Ancestors
My first interest is computers, but I've been doing genealogy research since I discovered how easy it was to record the information with the current programs. This was made even easier with the genealogy research done by my great grandmother, Amelia Maria (Carter) Kennedy. On September 14, 1909, Amelia wrote to her daughter about the success of her genealogy research and in a post script she added, "The day will come when it will be appreciated, I know." That day has arrived!
Above
is a
picture of my great grandmothers, Amelia Maria Carter on the left and
Mary
Eliza Barker, probably when they were at the Providence Conference Seminary
(later
called East Greenwich Academy) in East
Greenwich, Rhode Island. The information on an 1867 letterhead (click here
to see the illustration of the building) said it "Furnishes sound
instruction in the Languages, Mathematics, Sciences, English Branches,
Drawing and Painting, a Commercial College Course and a Course in
Music. A Home School for both sexes, at rates within reach of the
people." Amelia graduated in 1865. They both taught before marrying.
Amelia's daughter Kathrine
May Kennedy married Mary Eliza's son William Anthony Sherman.
In March of
1996 I "found" via the Internet Bob Carter, a third cousin. We are
related
through Amelia Maria Carter. After she wrote by hand 147 pages of
Carter
genealogy in the notebook that Bob's family has, she made several more
copies; two of which are in my mother's family. Visit Bob
Carter's Genealogy Home Page for links to his information on
Amelia
Carter's descendants, and ancestors back to Thomas
Carter the blacksmith. For genealogy information on the
area where
she lived, see the USGenWeb Project page for Lackawanna
County in Pennsylvania.
