John --- If you have a number of people in Bladen or Robeson I would start with those counties. I have a number of books on Bladen: Cemetery; Bible records; census; deeds & wills. Remember that Bladen CH burned 3 times. We hope to be in Bladen around latter April or may. Allen contact me as below if you wish. betty & Allen Johannes abelj@htcomp.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Brown" <jkbrown2@knology.net> To: <ncbladen@rootsweb.com>; <ncrobeso@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 2:39 PM Subject: [NCROBESO] Research Trip > > I am considering making a trip from Alabama to NC to research my Thomas > and Edmund Brown ancestors.
