I have just uploaded the images and index for NC Disallowed Claims of the Southern Claims Commission for the year 1874. There are approximately 160 claims included. Claims from the following NC counties are present: Beaufort, Bladen, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Carteret, Chatham, Cherokee, Craven, Currituck, Cumberland, Dare, Davidson, Davie, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Gaston, Gates, Greene, Henderson, Hertford, Hyde, Johnston, Lenoir, Lincoln, Madison, Martin, New Hanover, Orange, Pasquotank, Richmond, Rowan, Rutherford, Stokes, Transylvania, Wake, Watauga, Wayne, Wilkes, Yadkin In addition, I corrected a mistake and uploaded the image from the 1873 claims, page 329 which somehow I had missed. The quality of the copies was worse than the previous images and page 521 is pretty bad. That was from the page itself. I have discovered that one microfilm copier in KC does a much nicer job than the other. I will be using the "good" one on subsequent ventures in which image quality is desired. The site URL is: <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/">http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/</A> The index is under the "NEW" section. By the way, I am sending this to the Martin, Dobbs, Pitt, Davidson, Rowan and NCNR lists. If anyone wishes to forward this to others, they have my permission in advance. Also, if you have problems reaching the site initially, give it a few minutes then try again. You may also wish to copy and paste the URL above into your browser address window. I did check with Rootsweb and on some of the days people had problems accessing the site, the internet traffic report, <A HREF="http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm">http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm</A> showed sharp increases in latency (delays) due to internet usage and / or network issues. Best of wishes, Billy
