I have some research on the card family dating back to Richard Card of Newport RI done by my father Charles H Card about 40 yrs ago which is quite extensive . Are there other members of the Card family that have similar interest?
Thank you for writing. Are you willing to share your father’s research? I’d be happy to put it on my site and credit your father (and you). There are Card descendants out there in abundance. I don’t know how many are interested, but I have been able to establish a DNA connection with some of them on Ancestry. Have you done Ancestry’s DNA?
