I finished transcribing the Deed indexes (Grantor and Grantee) for the Ambrose surname. Although not anywhere close the to the number of names that I did for the Davenports there were still a few hundred. Remember for every land transaction there are two parties involved. Lots of Washington Co NC names besides Ambrose Also please remember that the court house burned on three occasions and that only the Deed Records were unharmed and go all the way back to 1799. There are lots of women's names found in the deeds. The names have been added to the search engine for Free Find. You can check for your ancestors names by going to my home page (below) and then clicking on Search. Rootsweb's search engine hasn't yet spidered the site so you will need to use the Free Find search engine. Enjoy and good luck.
