If you are looking for early folks, who went thataway, also check the listings for Tennessee, claimed by North Carolina until well after the American Revolution. If your local library does not subscribe to HQ, consult with the reference librarian to find out whether a nearby public library does subscribe.

I seldom do Rowan Co. research anymore--did at the beginning of my *searches* decades ago, when my Moravian families came to that area when Rowan was a HUGE county. However--until you can find some adequate leads on Cartner and Safrit families, I suggest this: Do a google.com search for *Safrit family* and for *Cartner family* I found links to those family names. It might not hurt to subscribe, if you can, and perhaps post some queries, including dates, and a document, as you did about the bastardy bond. You may NOT get an answer for years. That happened to me the other day. I have quite a few notes--and documents, including a Civil War [or Old War] pension claim concerning an ancestor, his divorced wife, her second husband, et al. I posted a query about four years ago, and a few weeks ago, the wife of a related person contacted me. I was able to fill in some blanks for her husband's immigrant [German] ancestor. The ancestor was a step-father to my German-born great-grandmother. Somebody now had some curiosity about the stepfather, who probably had had two previous marriages prior to that of my divorced ancestress. Somebody had to help him raise all those kids, some of whom had been born in Hanover, according to the censuses. Before railroads, many places were small communities, and there was lots of intermarriage. Tip: If you are near an LDS family history center, telephone and ask when the center is open. They are run by volunteers and are not always open. If you do not get an answer, call the nearest LDS [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints] church on a Sunday, when someone is bound to answer the phone. You might find an address and a telephone number by clicking around on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) You may have to scroll down the screen to find a center listed near your home. When the center is open, or if you get a knowledgeable person on the telephone at the church, ask if they have hundreds of microfiche called AIS = Accelerated Indexing System. This is an INDEX [not a census] but an index to the US censuses, for the entire United States, through at least the 1850 census. For some western territories, the censuses are beyond the 1850 census. Repeat: This INDEX is on hundred of microfiche. There is a high error rate, but if you find your surnames in the right place at the right time, who cares? Example of how AIS might help: In our extended family we have an old letter written from Kentucky on the Mississippi River dated June 1845 and addressed to my great-grandfather in Vixburg, MS. (Only I think the MS was missing, and there were no stamps--my aunt said it was sent by packet, probably a boat floating down the Mississippi.) At any rate, after I learned about AIS, I went to the microfiche file where AIS is kept at my large LDS center, pulled the Search for the 1850 census [for the whole US], found my ancestor with his common surname, and he was in Warren Co., MS [near Vicksburg] in 1850 census. I read the actual census on microfilm and found out he operated a tavern with a man from Delaware--an older man. Also, my LDS center had an early computerized index of Warren Co. marriages. Bingo! My ancestor had got married there in 1852--named his wife, whose name was mentioned in another *younger* letter which we also owned--the extended family owned, that is. You may find your Cartners [not so common a surname] but be sure to misspell the surname also. Change the vowels, if necessary, and begin the surname with a K. I learned the latter trick when I was reading English parish records for my maternal grandmother's relatives. Their surname started with a CA Well, the vicar, University educated, wrote it down the way he thought he heard it. Such variant spellings!!! I hope these tips will help in some of your searches.

About using the *original* spelling of the name - genealogical computer programs will not link those persons to another with a different spelling, as a general rule. Do you know of any such genealogy program which allows such flexibility? And what kind of family group sheets do you get? To solve the linkage problem, say, on a family group sheet, a pedigree sheet, or an ahnentafel, I think it better to use one spelling and then follow that with something like this: aka [also known as] ...... [with the name spelled as on the document which you find. However, the next document may have a quite different spelling. One of the names in my lineage is Harris. Simple, eh wot? No--in Madison Co., KY, in a one paragraph deed, the clerk spelled Harris three different ways--with a double s at the end and then inserting a y instead of an i. I think he was bored with his job and decided to be creative. Those of us who have foreign names in our lineage have to choose one way to spell --for the computer's sake, but try to differentiate in various ways. For example, I may have hundreds of Elizabeths in my program, and most without a maiden name. So, I may add *wife of ...... * We have to bend to the requirements of the genealogical program in order to get the charts we want.

The Brother's Keeper program that I use lets me specify another name to be used in sorting and searching in my data base. I use this for my DePriest/DuPriest/DuPrest/DuPreest/DePreast people that are related to my wife. I have the program use the DePriest spelling for searching in my data base, so I won't miss someone just because of that spelling variation. It also comes in handy for my wife's Laudermilk relatives, who also have a large variation in spelling. This way, I can leave the spelling with the original, and still not miss them when searching.

It's worth noting that it often isn't the case that the family members themselves changed the spelling of their surname "at will", and may in fact have even been unaware of the changes at all (if they were illiterate or 1st generation immigrant non-English-speaking). The real culprit was often the government official -- whether county clerk, tax collector, census taker, etc. -- who wrote the name as they thought it should be, with different officials having different opinions on spelling. My general rule is to follow the spelling as it comes from an original signature -- not the transcribed signature on a recorded deed, but an original, first-person signature such as that on a pension application, original affidavit, original probate receipt or the like. If you don't have an original signed document, then you really don't know whether or not you have the spelling in the form the family member themselves thought it should be -- you have somebody's interpretation, transcription or estimation of it, which may or may not be spelled the same way.

Joan Marie asks an interesting question. If I think a certain family intermarried with some of my ancestors, I include that family/person in my genealogical database. However, I can see Joan Marie's problem. I am NOT clever with computers, but perhaps she could set up either a separate database for the *unknown* Harbins [and variant spellings] and not include them in her primary genealogical program. That way, she would have information about these *extras* and sources so that she could go back to that *collateral* database in the event she finds the families are linked. Some people are clever with other kinds of databases. I have so many common names in my genealogy that I sometimes include likely *suspects* in my primary genealogical program. A good many Pennsylvanians and Marylanders did move to western North Carolina. The laws were not as stringent as some of the other colonies--Pennsylvania, where the *rulers* were members of the Penn family, and in Virginia where one had to be a member of the Anglican church or at least pay tithes to that church. Best wishes for solving your problem. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Someone asks what is FHC? This is short hand for Family History Center. Family History Centers are generally associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints [Mormon]. At one time the statement was there were over 3,000 centers world-wide, but the expansion continues apace!!! How do you find out whether such a center [FHC] is near your residence? Go to this website: _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) Scroll down the screen--and look in the middle lower part. Look for a *button* which says OK Above that OK is a blank for you to enter the State/town/city where you live. [This is a new feature I have not explored, as the website has been revised] . Be sure to note the telephone number. Telephone the center--they are not always open, as they are manned/womaned by volunteers, who do not keep regular hours. If you do not get a response on week-days, telephone on a Sunday when church services are held. Generally someone will answer the phone. There may be a different phone number for the church itself, so check your local phone directory. Sometimes churches are listed in the yellow pages. If you use white pages, be sure to give the proper title as given above. If your search is successful and you can get to that FH center at a convenient time for your schedule, ask for a brief tour. Ask to see the microfiche collection in particular. Ask how you order films, etc. Check the computers, the microfilm readers, the microfiche readers. Do not be in a hurry to start your research. At home, you can do some *shopping* by checking the Family History Library catalog [on the right side of the screen--URL given above]. Do a PLACE search, to begin. But also do a surname search. And for Rowan Co., NC, do an author search: 1) Jo White Linn 2) Brent Holcomb 3) A. B. Pruitt 4) Margaret M. Hofmann [note the spelling]. These are not in any particular order. If you are looking for late births, deaths and marriages, look under Vital Records. Wills etc. will probably be under the topic Probate. Get used to the way the Library catalogs items. And always look at the top of the screen to see if you can find a tab *View Film Notes*. That means the record or the book has been filmed. Sometimes county histories are very helpful. My friend, an expert researcher, says she goes for *genealogies*. Have fun exploring the FHL catalog. And then go back from time to time and explore the whole website. Every link leads to some interesting information. For example, the index to the 1880 US census is on the website; also the 1881 UK census and the 1881 Canadian census. Also check out NEWS!!! Exciting things are happening to the website! More and more material is being digitized.
