Thanks to all of you who supplied so much information on Youngers in NC. I learned a lot, and now if I can get these old bones going, I will see what I can find at the Family History Center. You all gave me three more counties that I did not know of. As for church records, well they were lost, burnt and in some cases, were considered the property of the minister. Several of my lines were very difficult to trace as the clergyman took the records with him and I looked for a number of years to see if they were in some collection. They were in an other state. Anglicans and RC kept records in the church while Methodists, Baptist, and several others were very apt to follow with the clergy. In Pennsylvania I never did find any civil or church records in the late 18th century and few in the early 19th. Again, thanks so much.
