Once you identify their parents, follow the same procedure with their death certificates for previous generations. The death certificate became mandatory in 1913, so you have several generations to gain by accessing those records. Parallel that with marriage licenses and deeds, and you should learn a lot about them. John Fox Winston Salem, NC
