I'm not sure if I had posted about this before, but I just ran across the State Archives collection of North Carolina Family Records Online. They have digitized a number of items in their collection and you can browse or search. (Including browse by last name or location.) So, what records are included? They have digitized over 2000 family bibles and have also included their 6 volume collection of marriage and death notices from North Carolina Newspapers that cover 1799-1893. I'm eager to see more sources in this resource, but if you're lucky enough that a families bible has been donated to the state archives, it will be a real find!
