A link to an online history of Jordan Memorial UMC has been added to the Publications page under “E-books.”

Early issues of the Asheboro Courier are now online: Digital North Carolina.

Jean Covington LaCoss has kindly offered to do limited look-ups at the Randolph Room in Asheboro. This is limited to search and retrieval of three documents at a time; it is not an offer to do research. Further details are on the Query & Lookups page of this website, which has a link to her email address. Please do remember to tell her thank-you, and offer to pay any costs involved. Thank you, Jean!

The NC Digital Heritage Center has a number of Randolph County histories online.  I added a link to them on the home page.

An e-book link has been added to the Publications page.

This newspaper article is about a woman who has written a book about her African-American ancestor, a Quaker, from Randolph County.

A link to the e-book of the Randolph Business Directory for 1894 at archive.org was added to the publications page:  http://ncgenweb.us/nc/randolph/publications/

Two books were recently made available by Internet Archives.  Links to those were placed on the Publications page.  Also, a Maps page was set up, and the township map for Randolph County was added there.

I’ve started an effort to collect bastardy bonds of Randolph County.  Contributions of information and/or images of the bonds are welcome.
