Penny, I think I found mine through one of the genealogy book dealers you can find on e-Bay. Then, of course, there's always doing a Google search! Last (but maybe the most certain) would be to write: The University of North Carolina Press PO Box 2288 Chapel Hill, NC 27515-2288 p.s. While the book is really great, it focuses on the settlement of the area between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers of N.C. so I'd suggest you take a look at your road atlas and check to see if your ancestors were in this area.

Can you PLEASE change subject lines so we can tell who you're looking for and where they lived. A time frame would help also. I get to many messagesto have to read through them all to find the information related to the person being searched. It's a little thing but it would help alot. Rhonda
