THE FAMILIES OF GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

SURNAMES FROM "A" THROUGH "Z"

Please report all non-working addresses to the county coordinator. For those listed here, please inform the county coordinator of all address changes, as these addresses will be tested from time to time, and deleted if they do not work, or a mailbox is so full that the message bounces back. We want to be sure that those using this service can reach those who are listed here. At the very least, a first name must be given to me to use for a listing, as a courtesy to others; I will not accept a request for listing without a name, whether that name is your real name, nickname, or handle such as "Genealogy Granny." Surname contacts without names, email addresses which fail, and those with no response back to me in over two weeks when tested have been dropped from this list.
