This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Blackburn, Caudill, Soots, Felts, Henderson, McDowell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SNE.2ACIB/1278.1 Message Board Post: Kathy, I no longer have a web site because the lack of security was just too lax on the service I was using so I gave up. Here's one of the NC Genweb sites that has several Blackburn researches listed that I'm sure you will find most helpful in checking to see if your ancestors were in Wilkes County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncwilkes/surnames/wilkb.html I have the two volumes of Genealogical Books publish by the Wilkes County Genealogical Society that I will check to see if I can find any information on Allen. Feel free to email me with any questions on my Blackburns and I'll do my best to help.Good hunting, Don
