Nice to see a thread I started ages ago being given a new lease of life !

Mary is the daughter of K & C's mother's sister to clarify. Again this is going in to their personal lives which I do not wish to discuss

It would be interesting to see what Bernice looks like....if she looked a lot like Agnes...

Mary and Mark Rudolph are the children of Agnes Carpenter's sister Bernice who married a Rudolph.

"Mark Rudolph of North Hollywood, CA" was K&R first cousin and served as the CARPENTERS Road Manager for many years. The Rudolph Family adopted a little girl named Mary. Cousins have always played a close and important part of the Carpenter Family, as many will recall cousin Joanie who lived with the family for many years as well.

Wikipedia includes a mention of Mary in their CARPENTERS bio:

The Carpenters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Richard Carpenter married his adopted first cousin, Mary Rudolph, on May 19, 1984. ... Richard Carpenter lives with his wife, Mary Rudolph-Carpenter, ...
