Robert, You are right!!!! I have that book and it is excellent!!! A real plus for someone researching North Carolina and very helpful for other areas (such as Virginia) too.

M. Leary, editor, published by North Carolina Genealogical Society, 1996. It should be available at any of the on-line genealogical book stores. I tried http://www.willowbendbooks.com Click on advanced search. Search: North Carolina Research The search came up with her book and two others that are very useful namely "Guide to Research at the NC Archives: County Records" and Margaret Hoffmann's "Short-Short Course." The three books reference one another and don't overlap very much. It is also at Amazon.com, but is listed as back ordered. However, I think you will find it at whichever book store you prefer. ==== VA-SOUTHSIDE Mailing List ==== USGenWeb Archives Digital Maps Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/ ============================== Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 Source for Family History Online.
