Acknowledgements

Although a considerable amount of my own original research has gone into this project, I also must acknowledge the help, hints, clues and encouragement that I have received from others. Without their influence and help, this project would never have been brought to its present state.

I also must acknowledge the not-too-widely-available book, The Garn (Carn) Family in America, that was compiled and published by Dr. Don W. McBride and Ella Smith Capener in 1964.
