-----Original Message----- From: Catherine O'Briant [mailto:cherokeecatz@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 8:12 AM To: 'TKSBUDDY2000@aol.com' Subject: RE: [NCPERSON] WHITFIELD/WHITEFIELD Good Morning I'm researching several Surnames in the Granville/Person Counties....it's been quite a puzzle, lol. My family tree is certainly a labor of love as it is for many of us. I try to stay focus with all the twist and turns of my database that continues to grow and do my best to keep my research as factual as possible from viable sources which I'm still entering such as census records 1790-1930, various documents copied from the VA Archives and NC Archives (newspapers, wills, land deeds, etc).. The follow is just a smidgen I'm working on when I saw Whit's email...(are you researching this clan? ) I have further information concerning my O'BRIANT (misc spellings) ancestors including connecting surnames should anyone be interested. FYI: I indicated roman numerals (I, II, III) in place of (Sr., Jr) in order for my database to follow individual sequence.
