Hello Sara,

I am new to this.  I am trying to find out more about my great-grandparents.  The surname that I am researching is Riggs.  The county is Onslow.

Hi there! Welcome! I'm sure once you've posted and gotten some responses, you'll get the hang of this in no time!

Riggs is a big Onslow County name. I'll add a surname forum for it and maybe if you go there and post what you know, there might be others who will have information they can add. 🙂

I'd like to request Gatlin and King.  I have so much stuff about the Gatlin family it's not even funny and I still don't know where my John Gatlin fits.  I have a theory, but I can't prove it.  Also, my grandmother was a King, but I don't know where her ancestry fits among the King families in the area.  The furthest I've gone back with absolute certainty is Thomas King who died in May 1835.  I think he's the one who married Sidney Lawson, but am not sure.

Greetings! I am trying to find information on William King Pope and John Sylvester Pope. Counties I know for sure the family has lived in are Bladen, Sampson, Pender, Duplin. I'm looking specifically for information from before 1830.

Thanks!

I have just finished spending three very educational days with Roger Kammerer at the Joyner Library, North Carolina Collection, at ECU in Greenville.  I assume a lot of you reading this forum are aware of the resources they have there for finding ancestors in North Carolina in general and East North Carolina in particular.  I strongly recommend you give them a try if you are up against a wall.  While we did not completely break down the wall as to who my 2nd great grandfather, Lewis Speir’s parents are, there are now some major cracks in it and I know a lot about who they aren’t.  I feel it’s just a matter of time and a little more work on my part before I know who they were.  I also now know a lot more than I did about my other NC family lines.  In the meantime, please keep the name “Speir” on the surname list; I also may be interested in other spellings of the name. Counties of interest are Pitt for sure and probably Beaufort, Edgecombe, and Craven.  Thanks for all the help you all have given me so far.

To @realitykills - I'll add a forum for the Pope surname now. Feel free to write the first post in the forum to talk about the specific lines you're researching. 🙂 

To @george - I think between your research and mine (and helpful input from researchers like @bsumrell we may well solve both of our mysteries).
