I have an unusual story and would like to get in touch with anyone who could help.
My grandfather, Thomas Allen Carder, Sr. was born 8/1/29 in Savannah, GA. The story passed down in our family was that my great-grandmother, originally from West Virginia, married a Charles Thomas Procter who was a pharmacist and his family was from Palm Beach, FL. The story passed down was that she moved to Palm Beach after marriage, but became very homesick. While pregnant with my grandfather (her first born), she left her husband, Charles Procter, and hopped a train/bus home to WV. She went into labor as she traveled through GA and gave birth to my grandfather in Savannah on 8-1-29.She made it back home to WV and remarried the man that legally adopted my grandfather which gave us the surname Carder. My great grandmother and her second husband had 3 more daughters. My grandfather has passed away and even though we have regular family reunions, everyone is reluctant to talk about it all. At our reunions all of us "Tom Carder, Sr's" stand out with our blonde hair and blue eyes while everyone else has darker hair and darker eyes. If anyone has any information please contact me here. Thanks!
