hi sally - you might want to write to the New Hanover County Public Library at 201 Chestnut Street, Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 about who you are searching for. i did and, on christmas eve [what a great christmas present] received from them some very important information on my father's family. my gg grandfather and gg grandmother were also married at st. james episcopal church. the library sent me photocopies of church records that covered all the entries they had on my father's surname. also, st. james' epis church has a website. it is <http://stjamesparish.churches.wilmington.org/page2.html>. if you have trouble with that site address, let me know. my chubby little fingers don't always do what my worn out brain cell tells them. you may also want to write to the North Carolina Dept of Cultural Resources at 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 and ask about any relatives that you think might be buried in n.c. they have the records of the WPA cemetery survey that were done in the 1930s and 40s. they found 3 of my family, which helped when i wrote to the new hanover library. always, when you write to one of these sources, include as much information as you have on each person, i.e. full names, birth dates, death dates, places of birth and death, etc. arrange your information so that it is as easy to read as possible. hope this helps. julie thames howell, jax, fla surnames: THAMES and DUDLEY SALLY228@aol.com wrote: > Hello, I am new to the list.
