Thanks for the info Mary. From all the emails posted lately I know I am not the only one with a problem searching for my Riddle branch, but I am with the third genealogist now and he doesn't seem to be able to find out any thing either. I just heard from him today and he said what he had tried so far didn't work so he's checking out something else. I didn't give him much to go on though. The only document I had was the marriage certificate from N.C, and that only had their names and the name of the person that married them. I am going to order the Riddle,Ruddle, etc. book, maybe there will be more info in that. Thanks again,Charlotte A.
