Jane Carrick Uttley's Bible

I have been entrusted with a bible that belonged to Jane Carrick Uttley. It lists birthdays for her and several of her siblings. They are not directly in my line. I would be pleased to forward this bible to anyone who can convince me that they are related to Jane.

gravesites in Texas,

I have researched a virtually abandoned cemetery in South Anderson Co., right on the boundary with Houston Co. I now think it is the Kyle Cemetery. For a list of the headstones:

South Anderson Co. Cemetery

I have no other knowledge of families or cemeteries in this area, so don't email me with questions about them. This cemetery lies on property next to ours. It is difficult to find and to get to, so I just documented it for people looking for this specific place.

Here's a CARRICK GEDCOM file:

all the CARRICKs in our database.

This is a 200KB + ASCII file. If you can't use a GEDCOM file or especially if you don't know what one is, please email Gil & tell me the lines you are interested in. I can easily email you some Descendancy charts in ASCII format.

Here's a CARRICK GenServ list:

all the CARRICKs in their database (except mine).

This is about a 70KB + ASCII file. I hope that this isn't a violation of their copyright. I am sure someone will let me know if they have a problem with my posting this here. Hope it helps you. The records are about 140 characters long. You can readily print it on 8.5 x 11" paper if you use landscape mode and a fixed font size of 8.

Our Carrick Family Book

Here is a book outlining what I think I know about our Carrick family line. It is in RTF format, so you should be able to open it with most any word processing software.

The Ayrshire Page

where our CARRICK's almost certainly migrated from originally.

The Carrick District Home Page

more specifically where our CARRICK's almost certainly migrated from originally. This site has the CARRICK District Tartan JPEG as well. (They say it's 400Kb, but it's only about 150.)

The Dumfries & Galloway Page

where our LITTLE's probably migrated from originally. - Oops. This link is broken. Dang.

Both of these groups have mailing lists as well.

This is a picture of a Carrick Mat (a type of knot.) It was used on ships to make mats for steps and other slippery spots.
