Hello Wilson County, North Carolina researchers, I am Carol Pridgen Martoccia and I am the list manager for the Rootsweb supported NCWilson list. I believe in Rootsweb and all that the fine administrative staff of Rootsweb are doing to further family research. Rootsweb mailing lists comprise 95% of the genealogy lists on the internet. The goal of this mailing list is to maintain a friendly environment for those of you who are researching Wilson County, North Carolina. This list is to be a forum for genealogy and related subjects. As for my qualifications as a listmanager for this particular locality list, they are: I was born and reared in Wilson County. My family moved to Edgecombe County in 1958 but my roots are deep in Wilson County. My sister, my aunt, and almost all of my cousins remain in Wilson. I have been doing full time genealogy research for over 10 years. I maintain a very LARGE personal genealogy library and I live directly across the street from East Carolina University and all that it has to offer. Although my educational background is not a requirement for being a list manager, I do hold a Master's degree. I do NOT profess to know all that there is to know about all the families or even about the history of Wilson County. That is not necessary as a list manager. My goal is to have you ask the questions and for others of you to answer the questions. I will not answer each and every query. If I don't know the answer, I hope that someone on the list does know the answer and will feel free to enlighten ALL of us. I do not want this list to be an unfriendly place. If you have a problem then you should contact me personally at [email protected] If you have Bibles, Wills, Deeds, Military Records, Census Records, or anything else that you feel should be on the internet, then please contact me and we will make sure that they get into the Wilson County Archives of the NCGenWebsite. Genealogy is a fun hobby. We can each uphold a professional standard and respect one another. Now, all of you, start the questions and post your lineages and answer those queries if you know the answer. If you find an interesting topic or a relevant url site, post it. This is YOUR list. USE IT! Thank you. Carol .. Carol P. Martoccia .. 903 East Fifth Street .. Greenville, NC 27858 .. Pridgen Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/6297 ..
