A distant cousin of mine submitted HUNDREDS of documents on my Bertie County HOBDAY/HOBDY family to the Family History Center. This has been a wonderful asset to me in my research. So be sure to do a search on surnames as well at www.familysearch.org . Also, you all might consider sending in copies of your own research to the LDS in Salt Lake City. That is a way to make SURE that your research is preserved and gets "out there" for others to view, so you might make a connection. All you need to do is make digital copies and send them on a CD or DVD to Salt Lake. Or you can make copies of your documents, letters, correspondence, family histories, etc. and mail them to Salt Lake. No need to send originals.
