Ken and Cherry rootsweb members: I don't know how much genealogy you know, so if this is something you already know, then please ignore it. Many lecturers state that if you check the censuses for names and homes which are listed close by, many times it will be either families which are related, or which are neighbors. You might try checking the censuses for the particular year (s) you're researching. Sometimes this is an indication of relationships or neighbors. And many times families and whole sections of a parent state moved in mass with each other to protect against assault from Indians, animals, weather disasters, etc. This is certainly not a definite but only an indicator. Mary J. Marchant I'm interested in the Cherrys from NC. Saying they moved from Va to NC, maybe I've been checking the wrong state for a couple's marriage. Maybe it needs to be VA instead of NC. This is my husband's family.
