I have lived my entire life in Stanly County, NC. I have an interest in genealogy but have limited time to get into much detail. Over many years I have gleaned bits of information on my family line as well as my wife's line. My grandmother sparked my interest when I was about fifteen years old. She could rattle off names and dates going back to the 1700s. I jotted this information down one evening while she talked. I still have that paper and have verified her information over the years. I take pictures and gather information when I can. I found this website while searching for information about a Civil War general for my daughter's history paper. I am impressed with this website because it lets me preserve my information in a safe and public place. If I can help with any projects, please contact me.
