NCGS Featured Publication
North Carolina Research: Genealogy and Local History, 2nd Ed
This is the updated, revised second edition of the book that set the standard for state research guides with its award-winning 1st Edition published in 1980. It’s not just how to do North Carolina genealogy, it’s how to do genealogy period! (Hardback, 620 pages)
Tools of the Trade
Ansonville, which was the county seat of Anson County at the time, suffered a fire on 2 April 1868. While most of the probate records and deeds survived, many of the earliest records did not, so records before 1790 may be spotty.
Award Winners
Each year, the North Carolina Genealogical Society honors worthy individual and society endeavors in publishing and other contributions to North Carolina genealogy. Visit our Award page to see categories and criteria, all past award winners, and access the nomination form.
