Hi Pat I live in Wake Co. though my Ancestors all are in NY, NY There a re a lot of PERKINS in NC especially in the past Where do you reside?? Do you have access to your state archives. If you could be more specific I would be willing to see what is in ours here in Raleigh. There is a Perkins Library at Duke U., in Durham. do you have any info on the first PERKINS as you go backwards from you?? any further after the first?? Do not send me too much, just the links in the paternal line Bill
