Jeffrey I don't know about what's on film but in the Court House you read deeds (basement), birth, marriage and death certificates (main floor Register of Deeds) and wills (upstairs). In the library research room there are four file cabinets full of research files. There are also many good books. One book that I was shown that was full of information is a big thick book on the Walters family. I am not related to the Walters but there is a ton of data on other Robeson County families inside (including some of mine).Also, all three volumes of Peggy Townsend's Vanishing Ancestors are there. This will help you find cemeteries to roam. Each has a detailed map (at least, they did). And if you are lucky, you will run into Sam West. He is the guru of Robeson County genealogy. One warning, as soon as you enter the Court House or the library, your watch will jump ahead four hours <g>.
