Karmella, This book is at best extremely incorrect and at worst a hoax. I only know one copy that existed and it doesn't exist now (the owner supposedly threw it away, if you can imagine any genealogist doing that.) Ancestry.com owns a few photocopied pages from it, and they made me copies of the copies to examine. Believe me, it is garbage. I asked Ancestry some time ago to please remove that database and they refused, but they put a disclaimer on it to basically use it at your own risk. Go with whatever townships people were living in on the 1880 census. OH, and by the way, our library has bought the LDS 1880 census on CD, searchable, every name, it's great. I can do lookups on it for anyone who wants me to. Traci the Librarian "Local history is not just local history but human history, world history. The information that you write down, the letters and maps you keep, these are the drippings of the human spirit and distillings of a man doing his job." --Paul Green Greetings list, Does anyone have access to the book Early Families of Edgecombe Co. (1881)? I would like to know what townships some people are residing in. I did a search for "negro" Knights at ancestry.com (using the database there that extracts info from the book) and came up with 26 listings, but no townships. I can send all the names along if someone can do this look-up. If no specific townships are given for the families, what does anyone know what townships are covered by the book in general? ---Karmella _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Tracy: I'm almost afraid to ask. Is there an Edgecomge County HERITAGE BOOK (with family genealogies, histories and photos)? If so, what is your opinion about it? Are there additional copies for sale?
