Betty --- I am affraid this may be to late for you but will try. Bladen County research can be done in Elizabethtown, NC. It is the County Seat. The Court House is there and they are helpful. The library in E'town is good with a research room with plenty of material. Also you may want to checvk in Bladenboro with Sam Paite (Has material on the internet). Allen Johannes --- abelj@htcomp.net
