Can anyone tell me how extensive and what are the contents of the McCubbin Collection? Where is it located? Does it have family info, if so what families.. southern, or ??? Thanks for your helps! Ellie S.

The original McCubbins Collection was microfilmed in 1956, and available on 76 microfilm through any Family History Center. They deal with about 8000 surnames and over 150,000 different pages of information. There are files for different surnames, but also check the "index" which will list other files which contain significant amounts of information regarding that surname. [FHL microfilm 0,19,828, 0,019,829 and 0,19,829] There have been items added to the collection since that time. The collection is at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. Records that she abstracted would be from Rowan County, but depending on the file/surname may also (and often) include abstracts of records from just about any county formed from Rowan County. The information is raw data, typically abstracts of deeds, wills, marriages, and court records. Also included there will sometimes be Bible records (as there is for one of my families), cemetery records, interviews with people, correspondence, DAR lineages, etc. Rick Saunders http://genealogypro.com/fsaunders.html -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
