SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Pathways to the Past - Exploring Road and Toll Records for Genealogical Research
DESCRIPTION:Roads were built and maintained by the local community; thus\, the members of the road crews were appointed by the county court. The records of these crews and their work include details about your ancestors and their FAN Club (Friends\, Associates\, Neighbors) working with them. The records provide incredible insight into the nitty gritty of how our road infrastructure was created and maintained at a time when few other records were being created. They also offer geographic details that might help us “place” where our ancestors lived on a map.  Often\, the start and end points and designated paths are identified.  Since these road juries were reviewed/renewed annually\, we can see how the neighborhood has changed. Women are also mentioned via their hands being called to work\, a geographic marker for a road crew\, and more. \nThe concept of tolls is not new. Depending on where your Tar Heel ancestor lived\, especially if a body of water needed to be crossed or a new turnpike was recently put into operation\, tolls/fees were paid. How many of you have cars with E-Z pass/NC QuickPass or similar toll transponders? This is the modern way of collecting tolls from those traveling by car. Eighteenth-century records clearly document requests for and approval of tolls for roads\, bridges\, ferries\, and canals. If you were willing to “pay\,” you could take the shorter/quicker/easier route from Point A to Point B. If not\, then your journey was typically longer and harder. \nFrom the perspective of state and local government\, what better way to pay for infrastructure projects than to allow private citizens to construct certain amenities like roads and bridges and run ferries and be permitted to charge tolls to recoup construction costs and produce a profit to provide maintenance? Did your ancestor pay tolls? Let’s explore legislation\, surviving records\, and other documentation that might answer that question. As always\, don’t overlook your female ancestors.  They\, too\, took advantage of tolled roads\, bridges\, and ferries to get about. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.  You may purchase a Series Pass for all four weeknight webinars for $85 (a $15 discount)\, or a ticket for this webinar individually.  Please select which option you prefer below.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Finding and Understanding Lord Granville Grants – Unique to NC
DESCRIPTION:Land grants are the original allocation of a defined plat of unowned land from the government to private individuals or organizations\, known as grantees.   In North Carolina\, this land was originally allocated by eight Lords Proprietors.   In 1729\, seven of them yielded control back to the King of England\, and North Carolina became a Royal Colony which meant land grants came from the Royal Government.  However\, one of the Proprietors\, Lord Granville\, refused to give up his rights and eventually negotiated with the Crown to control land in the entire upper half of North Carolina. \nThe result was from 1748 to 1777\, unowned land in the entire upper half of North Carolina was controlled by Lord Granville’s private land office instead of North Carolina’s Colonial land office.  This area is commonly referred to as the Granville District\, not to be confused with Granville County which happened to be within the district.   If you wanted land in this district\, you had to get it from Granville and not the King.  Granville’s estate still controlled the land after his death in 1763\, but for various reasons no land was allocated.  In 1777 the new State of North Carolina seized all unallocated land in the Granville District\, along with all the records\, so from that point onward land grants were handled like the rest of the state. \nThis situation resulted in collections of records for these grants that are both separate from and merged into the governmental land grant collections.  This webinar will explain the history behind these records\, their unique attributes such as actual grantee signatures\, and how to locate and understand them today. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Crime and Jurisdiction - Uncovering Genealogical Records in Unexpected Places
DESCRIPTION: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; we need to stretch ourselves and look elsewhere. The four Abbott brothers\, responsible for a one-family 18th-century Piedmont crime spree\, will help us illustrate this as we look at various courts (Courts of Pleas and Quarters\, District Superior\, North Carolina Supreme\, etc.)\, Treasurer & Comptroller\, and General Assembly Session Records\, plus a private lawyer’s ledger\, and more. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Introduction to NC Genealogy Research
DESCRIPTION:Are you just starting to research your North Carolina ancestors\, or have you researched for a while and hit brick walls and need a refresher?  This webinar will first review the history of North Carolina\, the various groups that migrated to it\, and some of the major events that impacted the state.  It will then cover many of the different types of records available\, both common and obscure\, how to use them in your genealogical research\, and most importantly where to find them and how to search them. \nNorth Carolina was the site of some of the earliest settlements in this country\, predating the Mayflower settlements by over 30 years.  However\, a treacherous coastline caused Europeans to prefer settling to the north in Virginia and south in South Carolina.  There was migration into NC\, and in 1663 the Carolina Charter was issued creating a vast region known as Carolina with its own government and governmental records. \nCarolina was originally governed by eight Lords Proprietors who ruled from England\, followed by being governed as a Royal Colony.  Although a number of records for this time period remain in England\, most of the records of genealogical interest were local and remained local\, and a surprising number still exist today.  After the Revolutionary War\, the new State of North Carolina continued with many of those local institutions and their records\, along with creating their own new ones. \nMany of these records will be found online\, but quite a few have never been digitized and will require visits to various repositories\, especially the State Archives of North Carolina.  Record groups discussed include vital records (birth\, marriage\, death)\, land records\, court records\, state government records\, and military records. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:North Carolina Genealogical Society Fall Conference (Hybrid Event)
DESCRIPTION:Join GenWebinar instructors Diane L. Richard and David M. McCorkle at the North Carolina Genealogical Society Fall Conference either in person in Raleigh\, NC or online.  They’ll be giving 3 lectures and 1 workshop\, and GenWebinars will have a table in the vendor room so you can meet them in person!  For more information and to register\, see https://ncgenealogy.org/fall2024 \nThis 2 day conference will feature 15 lectures on topics such as Artificial Intelligence tools\, effectively working with your DNA results\, North Carolina records and resources\, research techniques\, and more.   All lectures will be recorded for on demand playback until December 31\, 2024.  The cost is only $89\, or $79 for NCGS members. \nFeatures speakers are Dana Leeds\, Genetic genealogist and creator of the Leeds Method DNA tool\, and Steve Little\, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Program Director for the National Genealogical Society.  In addition to David and Diane\, there will be additional lectures from Gay H. Baynes\, Cheri Hudson Passey\, Jon Marie Pearson\, Renate Yarborough Sanders\, and Edward J. Swierczewski Jr. \nDiane’s lectures\n– Mining for Figurative Gold in Colonial North Carolina Records\nColonial research can be quite challenging due to extensive record losses\,. The further back we go\, the fewer extant records we find. That said\, there are goldmines to be explored. We’ll discuss the extensive record collections that survive beyond those found in the North Carolina County Records collections\, including some UK-based resources (after all\, we were a British colony)\, and what else you will want to pursue when researching this period. \n– Finding Females – 18th & 19th Century Small Business Ledgers Document Important Everyday Minutiae\nFemale ancestors can be challenging to research due to their underrepresentation in government records. So\, let’s explore non-government records and see what we can learn. A great type of these records where women are almost always listed are small business ledgers! We are talking general stores\, blacksmiths\, physicians\, lawyers\, milliners\, livery stables\, post offices\, and more. Found entries provide intimate details about their and their family’s lives plus genealogical leverageable insights into their FAN club. \nDavid’s Lectures\n– Introduction to North Carolina Genealogy Research\nNorth Carolina has a wide variety of records useful to genealogical research dating back to its founding in 1663. However\, understanding how to use those records in your research often requires knowledge of the region’s unique history and conditions. This lecture will discuss that background\, the types of records generated and why\, where to find them\, and how to interpret them. \n– Workshop add-on: Land Platting Using Metes and Bounds (In Person only)\nProperty boundaries in the original 13 colonies were described using a system called metes-and-bounds. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to find\, read and understand these records\, how to create maps of properties and neighborhoods using traditional hand drawing and specialized software\, and how to locate the property today.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: NO Longer a Rip Van Winkle State When it Comes to Internet Resources for Genealogists!!!
DESCRIPTION:With those of NC heritage scattered around the country and world\, many rely on online resources to do most of their research. Though a beautiful state to visit\, that is only sometimes an option.  This talk will scratch the surface of all the resources available to those researching NC ancestors\, but we’ll cover from very large to county-specific projects. \nWe’ll discuss two very large state-government-created/supported platforms and many others.  We are talking FREE and accessible information.  We benefit from North Carolina being a very open records state.  We do not have the restrictive policies that limit access to records as found in other states. Extensive resources have been put into creating the best access possible to invaluable records. This makes researching North Carolina records easier!  We’ll let our fingers “do the walking” through as many resources as we can cover in about 60 minutes with a provided handout that mentions even more online resources for you to explore on your own. \nUnderstanding the many types of online & FREE resources available will help ensure your effective and efficient genealogy research and keep you on budget. NC is truly no longer a Rip Van Winkle state when it comes to allowing genealogists to research their NC roots easily and inexpensively. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Some overlooked but useful collections at the State Archives - County Miscellaneous\, CRX\, and Treasurer/Comptroller
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCounty Miscellaneous.  County records are typically cataloged them into various predefined collections for that county\, such as Guardianships\, Apprentice\, Bastardy\, Court\, Land\, Wills\, etc.  Anything that didn’t fit one of those categories was put into County Miscellaneous.  The “miscellaneous” implies “not important” to some\, but these can be valuable records for genealogists.  Examples include coroner reports\, list of personal possessions requested to be exempt from seizure\, naturalization papers\, records related to enslaved people including records from slave patrols\, and more. \nCRX.  When archiving governmental records\, it is important to know that the records never left possession of the governing authority.  There have been numerous situations where materials are donated to the archives from private collections which contain obvious county records.  Practice does not allow comingling these records with the normal county records\, so they are put in a special collection for each county called CRX.  The important thing to know about CRX is it can and does contain any type of county record: wills\, bonds\, deeds\, estate files\, etc. \nTreasurer and Comptroller.  These are records generated by the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller.  At some point in the past they were comingled to the point where it was difficult to separate the two\, so the archives maintains them as one collection.  Many of them relate to state level functions that don’t involve individuals\, but others such as County Settlements with the State name names\, dates\, and more – your ancestor could be in there!  As the saying goes\, “follow the money”. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Finding and Understanding Court Records
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: NO Longer a Rip Van Winkle State When it Comes to Internet Resources for Genealogists!!!
DESCRIPTION:With those of NC heritage scattered around the country and world\, many rely on online resources to do most of their research. Though a beautiful state to visit\, that is only sometimes an option.  This talk will scratch the surface of all the resources available to those researching NC ancestors\, but we’ll cover from very large to county-specific projects. \nWe’ll discuss two very large state-government-created/supported platforms and many others.  We are talking FREE and accessible information.  We benefit from North Carolina being a very open records state.  We do not have the restrictive policies that limit access to records as found in other states. Extensive resources have been put into creating the best access possible to invaluable records. This makes researching North Carolina records easier!  We’ll let our fingers “do the walking” through as many resources as we can cover in about 60 minutes with a provided handout that mentions even more online resources for you to explore on your own. \nUnderstanding the many types of online & FREE resources available will help ensure your effective and efficient genealogy research and keep you on budget. NC is truly no longer a Rip Van Winkle state when it comes to allowing genealogists to research their NC roots easily and inexpensively. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.
