-------- Original Message -------- From: Ally3729@aol.com To: NCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Hi Could someone tell me what year NC and SC were divided into separate states and what was it called before the division? I am looking for relatives in NC. Maybe I should be checking both states, since they were once combined as one state.
