Here is a map: http://server2.co.orange.nc.us/locations/index.asp?ServiceID=23 The program will be presented by D-OGS member and author Stewart Dunaway. His program will be "Road, Bridge, Ferry, and Mill Records - Another Genealogist treasure". These county records (located at the State Archives) can contain amazing information about families, and their locations. These records are now being cataloged and indexed by Stewart Dunaway, allowing easy access to these valuable county records. His talk will include a brief overview of how infrastructure laws evolved from British Rule to early American expansion. Using old Orange County records to illustrate this evolution, Stewart will also show examples of genealogy oriented information, not just trade route or other historical information. Included in these records are law suits which can include amazingly detailed information as well. ======================================================= The May meeting of the D-OGS Computer SIG will be held on 8 May from 9:00am-noon, in the small conference room in the Chapel Hill Public Library. We want everyone to feel free to attend, and bring their questions, problems, and examples of tips and techniques they have found to share with the group. The program is currently TBD. -- Richard =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Richard K.
