Hello, North Carolina and South Carolina I want to wish you all a Happy New Year, and also welcome all the new researchers that are joining us in this wonderful and important endeavor. If you have Presley or Pressley ancestors in South or North Carolina, (or Purcell, Pursley, Pressly, Presnell, or any other spelling variation) I would like to make you aware of the Presley-Pressley Family History site, and give you an idea of some of the records available there to help you in your research. The site address is: http://presley-pressley.com and these records can be found on the "Census and Vital Records" link, and the "Deeds, Wills" link. North Carolina Census records: Alexander County 1850 Census Buncombe County 1820 Census Polk County1880 Census Transylvania County 1870 Census Union County1870 Census Watauga County 1850 Census North Carolina Marriage Records Henderson County Macon County North Carolina Death Records Buncombe County death records North Carolina Deeds, Wills Mecklenburg County Index to Wills by Devisor Mecklenburg County Index to Real Estate Conveyances - By Grantor There are many other resources there, and we also have an internet mailing list with about 200 other Presley - Pressley researchers. We would welcome your participation. Thanks, and good luck! Nancy Pressley http://www.presley-pressley.com
