Abstract:
A new data base appeared on Ancestry.com entitled Edgecombe County, North Carolina, Vital Records, 1720-1880. This was supposedly taken from a book entitled ‘Early Families of Edgecombe County, North Carolina, Its Past and Present, published in 1881 by the Ladies’ Tarboro, N.C. Genealogy and Library Association for the Preservation, Dissemination and Exultation of the History of Edgecombe County, N.C.’ and given by Cynthia Herrin of Rochester, Michigan. Research cannot find an extant copy in the United States and apparently Cynthia Herrin threw away the only known copy after compiling the database. The information in the book lists unknown places, people who never existed in Edgecombe County and large amounts of misinformation.
