Hi. Do you think you mother would donate a copy of her book to the Carroll County Genealogy Club for everyone to see. It would be put in the club book collection which is growing bigger every year. Surry County NC also has a Genealogical and History Room at Surry Community College which would be a great place for many to see a copy of her work. I bet she tells stories of many of the people in Carroll.
