I have been interested since I graduated from high school in 1941. Several relatives of my mother had done a lot of research in the Baker family. So I became interested in searching for my father's family. He didn't know much and didn't claim any relatives he didn't know but I soon discovered that the Capt. John Kerr/Karr, a Revolutionary War veteran, buried in a local cemetery, was indeed our ancestor. I continued the research in my spare time. I decided to work on all four of my grandparents ancestors and descendants which resulted in compiling a book on each of the surnames - Baker, Cunningham, Karr, and Muirheid. I had these books printed after I retired from the Federal government in Washington, DC. I am a member of the DAR and the Mayflower Society and can show proof of relationship to several U.S. Presidents, Queen Elizabeth, and more. I prepare and distribute a Karr Family Quarterly and maintain a roster of the living descendants of my grandfather which includes over 600 people including spouses and stepchildren. Even now that I am completely retired and moved "back home" where most of my relatives live, it keeps me busy. I have given away a lot of the books to libraries and genealogical societies and still have a good supply. I printed too many. These are hard back books, printed on acid free paper, and include an index. I would like to give away more of these books to libraries if someone pays the shipping charge.
