North Carolina Genealogy

The first half of last week we took a brief trip to Chattanooga, TN. We stayed about a mile or so from the Chickamauga National Military Park and got to do a bit of looking there. My main interest in it was that several of my ancestors were in the 60th NC Infantry which was […]

I’ve added a new photos section which will go along with the “Families I’m researching” category. I hope to start uploading some pictures of some of the families I’ve worked on before too long and that category will be the place to find them. I’ll try to tag/label things fairly well, so that it can […]

I don’t know maybe it’s nostalgia that keeps me liking the concept of webrings. Relevant sites linking to each other…. but it’s been a headache recently.

I’ve also removed the […]

Two days later, the U.S.S.R. declared war on Japan and invaded Japanese controlled Manchuria, then on August 9th another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Finally, […]

I’m continuing to push on in the revision of county information. I think I’m in the downhill stretch…. Iredell, Jackson, Johnston, and Jones Counties all saw updates this afternoon. So you should be able to find a bit more detailed info now on their respective pages.

Counties starting with the letter “H” now have been updated. That means Halifax, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Hertford, Hoke, and Hyde Counties all have more detailed information and links now.
