I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.
This "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations. These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families. I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.

====================================
Harvey Edgar Carringer (1852-1946) was my great-grand-uncle, the brother of my maternal great-grandfather, Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946). I am quite sure that he met me when I was a baby. Surely, he was a friend and mentor as the uncle of my grandfather, Lyle L. Carringer, and probably encouraged Lyle's interest in photography.
