I just stumbled across a website that has a great "county formation" set of maps for North Carolina. It covers formations/changes from 1664-1965 and includes a brief explanation (which county/counties it was formed from, etc.) with each map. It's really helpful to know where these counties were in the context of the time periods we're searching. As I commented once about genealogical searches in Virginia (and have now realized is going to be true of any specific state we research our ancestors in), "You kinda have to know the 'genealogy" of the state itself in order to conduct accurate genealogical research of the people who lived there." http://www.mynorthcarolinagenealogy.com/nc_maps/nc_cf.htm Chrissie -- "I don't have a family tree -- I have a family vine!!!" -- Ginger Ballard (a cousin through several different connections in my Grayson Co., VA/Ashe Co., NC heritage) ~~~~~~~ Chrissie Anderson Peters Bristol, TN

Dear Jeff, I love the Arcadia series. I have helped do a couple here in Berrien Co, MI. I really don't have any old photos of Franklin Co, just the ones we took in a visit to Franklin Co and Boones Mill. The Webster, Kessler, Boone, Martin and Hawkins families came to this area in the ealy 1830's from Franklin Co. Please let me know when your book comes out, I sure want a copy! Good luck, Daundra Baker, Berrien Co, MI
