Family Archives CD #524
Comprising a basic library of North Carolina genealogy, this Family Archive
CD consists of numerous volumes of marriage records, death records, land
records, historical sketches, and biographies, and names some 200,000
individuals who lived in North Carolina during the 1700s and 1800s. Combining
personal recollections and biographies with source records and local histories,
this CD contains a perfect blend of genealogical records and family history.
Among the unique resources assembled here is the famous periodical edited by
James Hathaway called the North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register,
its 2,000 pages crammed with data on North Carolina"s Old Albemarle region.
Other resources include biographical sketches of early settlers and prominent
families as well as a collection of marriage and death records transcribed from
newspapers. The following books are included on this CD, all accessed by a
single electronic index which reduces searching to seconds:
