What are the names of the children of Alexander Graham Bell? I think I am related to him. My mom was a Bell before she married, and she often spoke of a "Mother Carrie". Thank you in advance for any help.

Let me give you a good place to start. One of the most interesting people on this planet happens to be one Dr. Fred Bell. I have his book, Rays of Truth-Crystals of Light. It is a mind blower from page one! He is the Grandson of A. G. Bell. Dr. Fred Bell is a MAD SCIENTIST in the truest sense of the word! He is a straight up GASSER! His web site is: Pyradyne, Dr. Fred Bell
Email him. If he is around his office he will contact you. When he is on the coasttocoastam radio show, he will answer most emails- thousands of them! Ask him about Mother Carrie.

Let me get this out of the way first:
I don't think this Dr Fred Bell is the grandson of A.G. Bell, as you can see it isn't mentioned below... the guy seems a bit of a whackjob to me.. (If he was A.G.Bell's grandson, he should be about 90 now)
(I'm sure A.G Bell would be turning in his grave if one of his grandsons was into crystal power, alien contact, and things) His site is presented like any other scam site, like those you see offering immortality and "relationship advice" from some self-proclaimed master
I'm offended that he calls himself a scientist.

Now that's dealt with: Back to the real subject, you, krhyou:

Alexander Graham Bell had four children:
Elsie Bell (born 1878)
Marian Bell (Daisey)
and two sons who died young

Here are their children:

Marian:
Alexander Graham Bell Fairchild (1906-1994)
Barbara Lathrop Fairchild (1909-1998)
Nancy Bell Fairchild (1912-1976)

Elsie:
Melville Bell Grosvenor (1901-1982)
Gertrude Hubbard Grosvenor (1903-1986)
Mabel Harlakenden Grosvenor (1905- )
Lilian Waters Grosvenor (1907-1985)
Alexander Graham Bell Grosvenor (1909-1915)
Elsie Alexandra Carolyn Grosvenor (1911- )
Gloria Victoria Grosvenor (1918-1972)

And Alexander's brother had one child:
Edward Charles Ottoway Bell

It doesn't look like you are a direct descendant, as A.G.Bell's children (who survived) were both female, and so the family name wasn't carried on.

You do have one chance in "Elsie Alexandra Carolyn Grosvenor". She might have married a man with surname Bell and could well be "Mother Carrie" (from Carolyn). Look into her first!!! (apparently she's still alive???)

If that comes to a dead end, look into A.G.Bell's parents and see if they had other children that might have carried on the name to your mother. Or look up this Edward Charles Ottoway Bell, and see what his family tree is like.

I'm sure GeneGenie will be along to help soon. He's awesome.
Some good Geneology resources are listed here. With the full name and birthyear, you should have no trouble tracking down some of these people and finding family.

Good luck!!

I just looked up Elsie Alexandra Carolyn Grosvenor, she died at 93 with the surname Grosvenor-Myers, doesn't look like Mother Carrie

Dr. Fred Bell was born in Ann Arbor Michigan. His father was a scientist whom worked with the late Henry Ford Sr. His great uncle from his father's side, Alexander Graham Bell, was also a very well-known inventor, and on his mother's side, a direct descendant of Ethan Allen. As a result of this strange genetic gene pool Dr. Bell has a tendency to be a revolutionist with wild and crazy ideas...... a bit of an eclectic eccentric. His father Allan Bell, brought the London Bridge over from England and put it in the middle of an Arizona desert. Later he built a city with a pond around it, today called Havasu City.

I said he was a wild dude Capuchin and I did get the info mixed up. Not Grandfather but Great Uncle. If Fred is lying about being related to A.G. Bell then all I can say is big, freakin deal. I won't get as riled up about it as you! As far as thinking for myself, I got this information off the internet, the same place you got yours.

Except the information I have gathered is from The Library of Congress, and other research that others have done, not from a guy who claims he has contacted aliens' biography page that he has written himself.

I don't wish to discuss this here, I want to help the OP, and just wanted to point out that the information you provided is, at the least, debatable.

Here is his family tree from the Library of Congress.

The Library of congress has thousands of documents on his family in it's collection here.

Go here (Rootsweb family trees) and plug in his name, born 1847 to see what other descendants have documented about his descendancy - to see which ones may be of your line.

Be careful, though, to compare what those people have with the LOC stuff. There are often errors found in those Rootsweb Family Trees.

If you don't find what you're looking for, give us the name of your oldest known (known with certainty) ancestor in your Bell line and I'll plug him or her into my databases to hopefully give you a lead.

There are some letters from Alexander Graham Bell in the Library of Congress that are addressed to a Carrie. You might check there

I found some information in the Library of Congress. Carrie Bell was Alexander Graham Bells sister-in-law. She came over from Scotland with Alexander's parents after the death of his other two sons.
