I have done 4 books total and two are in the McDowell County Public Library. I have the McDowell County Cemetery Books and will be happy to do look ups for anyone. They go through 1995. I am a volunteer for the RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness) and will do lookups for McDowell County, NC for births, deaths and marriages records. I also post information on Find-A-Grave. The webiste for this is: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi I have also posted gravestone photos on the Find-A-Grave website.

There’s been a change in Grandma, we’ve noticed as of late
She’s always reading history, or jotting down some date.
She’s tracing back the family, we’ll all have pedigrees,
Grandma’s got a hobby, she’s Climbing Family Trees

I started this blog called Our Ancestors to use for genealogy, family and friends. I have been doing genealogy since 1978. I had to put it on the back burner for years due to working in nursing and raising two kids. I finally semi-retired from nursing and jumped feet first into Family History Researching.

New Blog

I am now beginning a new blog. I hope to use it for Family, Friends and Genealogy
