Abstract:

In 1994, William B. Kittrell and a few dedicated genealogists created The Pitt County Family Researchers (PCFR). This organization works to find and document Pitt County related family histories and genealogy throughout North Carolina and the United States. The Pitt County Courthouse burned in the late 1850s, making the task of collecting documents quite difficult.\r\nThe PCFR initially met in local churches and at Pitt Community College, however, the group ran out of space for its collections and moved it to the Sheppard Memorial Library in Greenville in 2001. After 10 years of growth and service to the community, the PCFR continues to seek out information relating to Pitt County genealogy and holds monthly meetings at the Sheppard Memorial Library. Additionally, the group sponsors yearly reunions for those who seek help in discovering their family's history.\r\n
