Event Series Focus on North Carolina Part 1 – Saturdays

Focus on North Carolina: Finding and Understanding Court Records

Courts in North Carolina have always had the role of dealing with crimes and disputes, but in the past they also handled much more routine items that can be of great interest to your research.   County courts handled many functions now done by other government offices such as proving deeds, probate, petitions, taxes, appointment of local officials, licenses, bastardy, manumission – the list goes on.  To complicate things the type of courts and what they were responsible for has changed over time.   This discussion will help you know not just what you can find but how and where to find it.

Focus on North Carolina: Some overlooked but useful collections at the State Archives – County Miscellaneous, CRX, and Treasurer/Comptroller

The State Archives of North Carolina holds the bulk of original state records and most of the older county records. Many collections are obvious targets for genealogical research like wills, court records, land grants, estate files, etc. However, there are several collections that are often overlooked that can contain valuable information not found elsewhere, and most are not online anywhere.

Focus on North Carolina: Crime and Jurisdiction – Uncovering Genealogical Records in Unexpected Places

Understanding the legal jurisdiction and geography of ancestors and events is critical in finding needed genealogical records. For various historical reasons, records are not always found in the most obvious places.  The four Abbott brothers, responsible for a one-family 18th-century Piedmont crime spree, will help us illustrate this.

Focus on North Carolina: Pathways to the Past – Exploring Road and Toll Records for Genealogical Research

Road and toll records tell us a tremendous amount about our ancestors.  They fill in gaps by providing information that might not be found in the usually explored governmental records.  Best of all, they help you learn about those living closest to your ancestors – their FAN Club (Friends, Associates, and Neighbors).  They might also connect family members explicitly, give us the details needed to identify where our ancestors lived (sometimes vague deeds are not enough), and provide additional information. Learn about these less-explored records and the incredible genealogically-leverageable data they include.
