When Harry Thompson was teaching at the Community College in adult education, he required no tests, no papers, - but did require that each student write down his or her family as far back as they could. The information was not for him, but rather for their children and grandchildren. He helped most of them with their research by bringing in books, etc, and devoted twenty minutes of each class to their research. As a result, most of the students gave him a copy of their family history. He now has two filing cabinet drawers full of their research, plus later letters that came in from people searching for the same info. This is a list of the surnames included in those files. Anyone doing research in the Bertie County area may contact Harry, and he will answer queries as time permits.
