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
