Hello to all friends of NC Genealogy and Heritage! In the aftermath of America's Tragedy, we are encouraged by the heart and spirit of genealogists everywhere. North Carolina's rootsweb folk are particularly noteworthy. These researchers; historians and genealogists have gotten right back into their "research mode". Great therapy to be sure. Longfellow has some encouragement, written some 160 years ago.
