surname Yelverton Thank you P Y Layton

J. Altenoff is charging for his lookups. This isn't exactly made clear in his "announcement" that has been slathered over all the state and county lists. There is an alternative, the free database at http://tn-3.rootsweb.com/~marce/bmd/search.cgi built on user contributions. It already includes many records that are recorded in the NC marriage bonds and licenses, but also has records that come from church, Bible and family records and don't appear in the bond lists. There are more than 20,000 records already in this database, and it's growing rapidly. (Send your contributions and help it grow, if you haven't already.) The microfiche bond records are available at the LDS family history centers. You can check on-line at the web site http://www.familysearch.org to see if a particular bond is included in the fiche, and get the bond number if it is, although you can't get all the information about bondsmen and witnesses from this. Just wanted to clarify that the Altenoff lookup site is not free. Diana Wayne County, NCGenWeb
