Lots of Monroe CO, TN folks have NC connections. Here's a website that I just checked out yesterday. You may have known about it longer than I, but it's something really worth checking out if you haven't. Lots of Rutherford CO, NC records and other counties can be found there. Records are so organized and easy to access. The URL is http:rfci/wdfloyd Happy Independence Day! Sandra Ratledge "Kinfolks in the Knobs"
