CUMBERLAND COUNTY NC
GENEALOGY

"I have access to the Cumberland County Courthouse (most records before about 1910 are NOT here and have 
been sent to the Raleigh Archives).  The Register of Deeds has marriages, births and deaths from about 
1910 with indices for these.  The deed records ARE here and many are on CD from the 1700s on.  Many 
have been destroyed.  I know of NO pre-1913 birth records except for limited mentions in the newspapers 
of the time.  Many early marriages are lost.  

I also have access to the Main Library which has some excellent sources for Cumberland County and 
SOME for surrounding areas.  Examples of their resources for the county include some maps, indices 
to locate small creeks, abstracts from the local newspapers (for deaths and marriages) 1816 – 1840 
and microfilm of all the newspapers extant up to the current ones.  All of the censuses for NC are 
here including all Soundexes on microfilm.  There are also a couple of books which index the early 
land grants and deeds.

I am willing to do lookups consulting indices, do a search of a small area of time for someone or 
search for a specific person or couple.  I am not able nor am I willing to do extensive searches  
- all the (surname) in Cumberland County, find whatever you can on my (surname) who may have stopped 
there while on their way from VA to GA (no time frame).  

Please be specific. Give complete names, dates, and any known information about the subject to be 
researched.

I am also willing to give suggestions on courses to follow." E-mail Carolyn Gibbons.
