I agree that Carl was often changed to Charles in America, or maybe, when the Germans decided to Americanize some of the names.
The first son of my great-great grandfather, Johann Georg (also known as John George and George F.), was named Carl but was later called Charles or Charlie.This Charles was born 24 Dec 1852 in Watertown, Jefferson Co., WI.Incidentally, he made his living as a stone mason.
