I was at the North Carolina State Archives a few weeks ago and found Wake County tax rolls on microfilm there. They had complete rolls for 1805 and 1809 to 1830 (I stopped at 1830 and can't remember if they have years after 1830). They also have a few partial rolls for earlier years, but they are pretty hit & miss.

Hi. We are coming to Raleigh soon to do some genealogy work. Can someone provide me with a suggestion as to where to go for the following info: 1 Marriage Index-All available years. 2. Birth Certificates or records. 3. Wills, probate records, deeds,etc. 4. Land Record. Plats, etc. 5. Death Certificates. We will be going to Chatham county also, as time allows. Thank you very much. Gerald Wright

Could someone tell me where to find a tax list for years 1813 and 1816 in Wake Co.? Thanks Judy

No library should ever be over looked. You can never tell what they have available and where it might lead you. Both LDS and Olivia Raney Library are excellent places. What one doesn't have the other might. The local LDS Family History Center's are the doors to the Salt Lake City, Utah library. If you haven't been there you have never truly been to a good genealogical library.

In addition to having more in terms of local Wake history, Olivia Raney's staff has been more than accomodating to me in the past with my requests by e-mail. This is not to knock the LDS, of course, but if and when I get back out to Raleigh, the Olivia Raney library is definitely not to be missed.

Dear Fellow Researchers, I am searching for information regarding the surname Stephenson. Some of my newfound cousins and I have found some information in Wake CO. NC regarding a land deed. Some of the names that appear on the deed include my ancestor. My ancestor Jonathan deeded his land to David with Britain as a witness. Jonathan Stephenson Britain Stephenson David Stephenson An additional name was found in a judgment with the David Stephenson mentioned above. Stephen Stephenson I have also found some marriages of some of these Stephenson’s but have failed to place them together as siblings, cousins, etc. Jonathan Stephenson married Mary Ann (Polly) Jones 1807 Stephen Stephenson married Rebecca Mc Cullogh. I have some other Stephenson marriages in Wake CO as well. If anyone has info or even if your brick wall is in the same spot, please contact me. Maybe we can put something together.

I agree. I have found things in small local libraries that were the key to just what I needed. Clayton has a tremendous amount on North Carolina. So many of our early Texas descendants came through North Carolina. Clayton has research for everyone now though. We are so lucky to have it. I still have to order things from LDS, but it is less than it was years ago. Thanks for your answer.

Hi, The Olivia Raney Library is in Raleigh, NC and has a large collection of Genealogy material. Not as large as the State Archives, but a comparison would be the Clayton to the Public Library in Houston. <G> I think what Chet was asking was, would the LDS library have more county material for Wake Co. than the local library. I havn't been to the Raney library, yet.. hope to, one of these days, but always wind up at the archives and never get out of there <g> It would depend on how much local information for the county is there. I know that the LDS library has a tremendous amount of data that has been filmed for Wake Co. But, then, there may be some local family information that has been given to the Raney library that was never filmed..?? Who knows? I would have the best of both worlds and check them both!!

What is Olivia Raney Library? The LDS Library is the largest in the world. You cannot check out anything. However, you can order anything they have, except books, sent to the local Family History Center Libraries. They have some books on microfilm you can rent. You can rent the film for a small fee and keep it for varying lengths of time. They keep some things on permanet loan. I research at Clayton Library in Houston which I understand is the 3rd largest. The library in Indiana is 2nd I think. I'm not sure where the DAR Library fits in. I've been researching for going on 30 years and have never heard of Olivia Raney.

Hello list, I've just put up a new link on the Chatham Co., N.C., page. Some of you may not know about it and will find it very helpful. It is the new 'Migrations' link now maintained by USGenWeb volunteers. It is a terrific way to track your ancestors. Please use it to submit your families, too. Please visit the page to try it out.
