Dear Shaun, I am just starting research on my family tree on Ancestry.com. We are related somehow, my Grandfather was Dr. William Shirley Glenn. He was my Mother's Father. His Mother was Bella Smola , I knew her to be Belle Small ( apparently the Glenn's didn't care for the "Ethnic" name) Anyway, I tried to download GEDCOM but I could not do it. My friend Cheryl said she could do it at work. If you could send the files to her it would be a big help. Her email is Cat1Jenna. What I am looking for is all on the Glenn/Carter side. The Family came to Virginia in 1620 from England. Somewhere around 1875 they ended up in Pittsburgh. Thanks for any help. Melanie
