Hi Researchers, Within the next month I plan to visit Ashe County to attempt to prove, or disprove my connections to that area. Supposedly, both my grandfathers and grandmothers were residents of the county prior to 1900. I wonder if anyone would care to provide some guidance on the repositories that are available? Also, would you care to list some of the types of data available/location(s), e.g., does the courthouse in Jefferson have US as well as NC census data? Thanks in advance for any assistance you may provide. Best regards. My family tree is a few branches short! Help is appreciated.
