Family Group Sheets

Family Group Sheets are a method of documenting individual families, one family at a time. USGenWeb has a national Family Group Sheet project which can be found at www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/. The North Carolina page for this project is located at www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/northcarolina/.

Here are the entries to the North Carolina Family Group Sheet page that reference Wake County Families. These pages are part of the North Carolina Family Group Sheet Project, so they will open in new windows.

• Abner Gray Family
• William "Buck" Jones Family
• James B Jordan Family
• John Morton Family
• James Denton Scott Family
