Possible Slave Owners - Hinton
O.k. So, this morning, I'm following my friend's advice and getting active on message boards. I'm also, transcribing my horrible interview notes from my May 2009 interview with my 85 year old cousin on my Banks side of the family. Lately, I've been so busy with work, that I haven't even had a chanc

Sumter County FL, Wants to Relocate Possible Historic African American Cemetery...
This cemetery is owned by the county and they want to move it so the land can be developed for other purposes. This cemetery has relatives long forgotten. However, this doesn't mean that those relatives should be moved from their final resting place. Especially, since this may be the oldest in Busnell, FL related to runaway slaves. The cemetery is more than likely over 100 years old and the fact that people were buried there as recent as 1956 would tell me that this little known cemetery is a family cemetery. A place where black folk have been laying their family to rest. From my own experience, we placed our dead among family. We used the same area, same ceme

No joint researchers
I have been crazy busy lately at work which has left me not time to blog, let alone think about genealogy. I know right..so sad!But, since starting my search 2 years ago, I have come across ZERO fellow researchers. Granted, I'm researching 2 specific counties in NC (Pasquotank and Camden) and 4 surnames: Banks, McCoy, Lowry & Spence. Still no one. Not one descendant from these other lines are researching the tree...that I know of. Why is that? Why aren't more people, mainly African Americans, researching their roots? Is this not important??

Tale of 2 Counties: Pasquotank & Camden County, NC
*The little red dot in the 'Newland' part of town is where my ancestors lived. The black line is the main road going from Pasquotank to Camden County. Pretty close, huh? The vast majority of my Spence ancestors come from Pasquotank County, NC. I can trace my Spence line to dang near the same road they currently live on today to 1870. But, my [living] family has told me that
