The document is the Abstract of North Carolina Continental Line. This was put together in 1828 by the clerks of NC's Secretary of State Hill. So, in essence, this is a transcript of a transcript with attendant errors in interpretation. The link to my site (correct this time!) is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/ Click on the Transcripts link, then History and the document will be listed under the New section (until I figure out how to reorganize some things). As I said at the top, this is not 100% proofed. I was able to get surnames A-O and will finish up next week. After that, I will put is some enhancements like direct links to surnames begining with A, B, etc. as well as put up a copy sorted by Regiment, Rank, and then Surname. Hope this helps someone. Happy Memorial Day, Billy I meant to include this in the original email but forgot. I imagine that many will not see ancestor's in this database that they are certain were in the NC Line. Personally, I am 100% certain that not all names are there that should be. I imagine that was because of muster rolls being found after the abstract was completed in 1828. For example, if you look at the document at my site NC Officers of the Continental Line, you will find several missing from the abstract! I have also looked at muster rolls for various regiments of the Line and idly spot-checked. Many on the regimental roster did not appear on the abstract. That is another project for another day, a compilation of all names that appear on that film. Billy
