Canter Genealogy Family History

Canter Connections

If your family history includes the surname Canter, you are likely to find a member of your family in the Canter family genealogy below. Canter family history begins in Charles County Maryland, and from there it spreads westward to Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio.

Canter Family History Research Advances:
Through sharing family history research and data, the CanterHistory Group has made great progress in piecing the Canter Family in America together.  However, we do still have unanswered questions.   The CanterHistory Group is working diligently to answer these questions and to piece our family genealogy together.  DNA tests are helping to authentic and direct our research. 

Acknowledgments: Without the diligent, unflagging efforts of Mike Canter of Ohio, the moderator of the  CanterHistory Group, this research would not have advanced nearly as far as it has.  It is Mike's commitment and leadership that keeps this project advancing.

Special thanks to W.K. Underwood of Bristol, VA who got me started on this quest to find my roots and who contributed her own data collected over a period of 30+ years.

Of course, many thanks are due to those who have contributed their own Canter family histories either through association with the CanterHistory Group or through their contributions directly to this website.

Invitation: If you have Canter in your genealogy, and if you would like to add further to the information presented here, please do!  Just email  judy.kilpatrick@gotricounty.com
