Qualifications

I am experienced in researching families all over North Carolina. I am a founding member of the East Coast Allred Family Association, a genealogy organization based in Randolph County. The ECAFA specializes in locating, identifying and recording abandoned cemeteries in central North Carolina - helping everyone find those ancestors who have been literally lost in time. I am also a member, officer and one of the lead researchers for the Allred Family Organization (www.allredfamily.com). I have researched in libraries, cemeteries, courthouses and archives in Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Alabama and Pennsylvania but prefer North Carolina's State Archives, tracing some families back to the original American settlers.
