I wanted everyone to know you can see the wills, deeds ect. on line at the archives. For those who haven't been there, type in NC Archives, it will take you to the NC site, there click on archives on left, it takes you to another site, click on Mars, it will then launch you to the archives. Once there go down to state and check state, then go back up to top and fill in last name, (Smith, John) ect. To see the wills you will need to download their program. Good Luck on searching. Donna
