I was assuming there were enough names and origins given in the blurb
that "caneshianv" would have lots to work with for investigating Howard
Carter's genealogy. Obviously I missed something through the newsgroup.

Rootsweb seems to have stopped being updated. The last GENBRIT update
was November 2016 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/GENBRIT/

Shortly after Howard Carter's death his niece Miss Phyllis Walker deposited all his personal papers in the Griffith Institute Archive at Oxford, where I recently had the privilege of viewing Carter's daily journal. On opening Tutankamun's tomb Carter is famously alleged to have told Lord Carnarvon that he saw "wonderful things" but his journal actually reads "when Lord Carnarvon said to me 'Can you see anything'. I replied to him 'Yes, it is wonderful'".
Carter's papers have been transcribed and scanned and may be viewed online at

Can sks help, my daughter is studying Egyptology and is interested in Howard
Carter (as she is hoping for a family link), does anyone know if a family
tree has been complied and where I can look for it.

Your daughter (if truly interested rather than mildly curious) should
research her own family as well as Howard Carter's.

Google can give a start on the latter (though I recommend care and
attention; there's a website that says he married Elizabeth Howard
daughter of 2nd Duke of Norfolk - she died 400-500 years ago)

Eg, using keywords of
Howard Carter family
for a Google search inckuded in the results
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Howard_Carter_(archaeologist)
which gives his parents' names and the fact that there were other
children.

Public libraries often provide regiastered readers with free access to
ancestry.com and findmypast

Howard Carter's family is on Wikitree. The direct link to him is:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carter-14606

Wikitree has a special collection of "notable people," and Carter is one
of them. But Wikitree works rather differently from Ancestry or
MyHeritage. I agree with Cecilia. Plenty of people have worked from
famous people down to themselves. If I believed them, I would be a
Scottish viscount. The only way is to work upwards from oneself.
Notable people are a bonus, not a goal. And there is a lot of copying
from other trees. That may be how Elizabeth Howard was brought in. You
should check all links yourself.

HTH,

Doug.
