You may have to download the viewer to actually view the ones where images are available. I see lots of familiar names in the wills section. Betty Pace ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Betty A. Pace" <bapace2@juno.com> http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/ Select "State Archives" shown under the center box labeled "Historic Resources" which then takes you to "MARS" at http://www.ncarchives.dcr.state.nc.us/logicrouter/servlet/LogicRouter?PAG E=child&OUTPUTXSL=childbrowse.xsl&hier=h1&tree=c&api_1=PUB_DISP_COLL&hier =builder&tree=c&api_2=GET_SEARCH_PARM&hier=h1&tree=o&api_3=PUB_DISP_COLL& hier=builder&tree=o&ds_svAPI_searchparm=4&api_4=GET_SEARCH_PARM&ds_svAPI_ sortoptions=5&api_5=GET_USER_SORT_OPTIONS&pm_POI=52&hier=h1.1&tree=o&pm_G S=100&api_6=GET_CHILDREN_GROUPS&pm_POI=52&hier=h1.1.1&tree=o&pm_CGI=1&api _7=GET_GROUP_CONTENTS Since the last item is a VERY long URL, you might want to start at the beginning. There are lots of other interesting items showed on these screens so taking a look around is not a bad idea. Rae Jean ... ----- Original Message ----- Subject: [NCWAYNE] NC Archives I wanted everyone to know you can see the wills, deeds ect. on line at the archives. For those who haven't been there, type in NC Archives, it will take you to the NC site, there click on archives on left, it takes you to another site, click on Mars, it will then launch you to the archives. Once there go down to state and check state, then go back up to top and fill in last name, (Smith, John) ect. To see the wills you will need to download their program. Good Luck on searching. ______________________________ Donna
