North Carolina Genealogy

I’ve never been a big fan of “New Year’s Resolutions”. I guess the way I see it, if we want to change the way we do things, there’s no better time to start than right now and turn course and don’t look back. I don’t know, maybe the concept of the New Year’s [...]

OK, this may not be genealogy related but, I’m going to post it here. This afternoon I was looking into google’s page stats for someone else and happened to notice that THIS site is being indexed again by google. I thought I had noticed a bit of an uptick in traffic the last [...]

I’ve deleted the webring code and the rail code from the site and don’t expect to be replacing either of those back on the site. This is a frustrating decision, but it stems from the problem that I’ve had with google indexing of this site (non-existent in google.) After a lot of consideration [...]

I’ve been wanting to give this a try for some time. I haven’t seen any genealogy sites before that have tried combining data on locations with mapping, so I thought the best first place to start might be cemetery data. Unfortunately, it’s a tedious process to enter at this point (name (county) description [...]

The first half of last week we took a brief trip to Chattanooga, TN. We stayed about a mile or so from the Chickamauga National Military Park and got to do a bit of looking there. My main interest in it was that several of my ancestors were in the 60th NC Infantry [...]

I’ve added a new photos section which will go along with the “Families I’m researching” category. I hope to start uploading some pictures of some of the families I’ve worked on before too long and that category will be the place to find them. I’ll try to tag/label things fairly well, so that [...]

I don’t know maybe it’s nostalgia that keeps me liking the concept of webrings. Relevant sites linking to each other…. but it’s been a headache recently. I’ve been suspended/in and out of several rings for “failure to have the code” on the main page. Which, of course, is not true, I HAVE [...]

I’ve moved the old site archives and gathered everything under the northcarolinagenealogy.net domain. The old posts that might have been found from a search engine are linked to on the bar to the right in the area titled “Old site archives”. Unfortunately the search function for the new site does not include the [...]

I’ve finally gone through and done some clean up of the links and the old site archives. Previously, the old archives were at an averyjparker.com/ncgen address…. the archives are still available, see the links to the lower right hand side of the page, or visit http://www.northcarolinagenealogy.net/ncgen for the old site entrance. I’ve also [...]

I’ve gone through and made an update in this second pass on the counties starting with the letter “L”. So, Lee, Lenoir and Lincoln Counties all have seen an update.
