This page is for public libraries, genealogical societies, archives educators, and NCGenWeb volunteers who want a free, stable link target for North Carolina family history researchers.

What we offer your patrons

• 100 county hubs with formation/parent traps, courthouse contacts, and record matrices
• Record-loss notes (fires and thin series) so blank indexes are not mistaken for “no ancestors”
• DigitalNC newspaper titles with online year ranges per county (digitized holdings, not guesswork)
• Method guides (start here, vitals, land, probate, African American research, Granville grants, pre-1868 marriages)
• Moderated surname queries + preserved 1990s–2000s forum archive (emails redacted on modern query import)
• Free printables (starter checklist, burned-county pack, AA pack) and optional $9 priority-county field pack
