HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Ed and all, Without question we will have charges for much of what we do, whether it's a professional researcher or library/archive costs. But we have mucho $$ in our HFGA fund that I'm trying hard to find some ways to productively spend it. And I just rec'd a PayPal notice of another Hatcher who bought a $30 membership. Like I said, can't find ways to spend it fast enough :-) But one thing I would like from those of you with NC or SC "problem Hatchers" is for you to give me suggestions of counties to search. I've already added DarlingtonCo to the list for Patsy who has an Unc family there. I've got many stray Hatchers in these two states and I do admit I can't just remember all of them off the top of my head......so all suggestions welcome! Actually, ANY suggestions y'all have could be helpful. Nel

Nel, I could search for NC Hatchers but can't for a month or more because of a project I am working on. I would have to go to the genealogy room at the NC Archives in Raleigh. There are hatchers living in Johnston and Person Counties. I will be happy to check all of NC when I am free.
