Finding and Understanding NC Court Records by David McCorkle
Courts 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. Please join us ONLINE on Wednesday, June 3 at 7:00PM to hear David McCorkle present Finding and Understanding NC Court Records. 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.
