  • Primary source documents from counties from which large numbers of inhabitants migrated into Wake County may be used provided there is no Genealogical or Historical Society serving that county.
     

  • Articles emphasizing methodology, instructions and "lessons learned" will be welcomed.
     

  • Manuscripts about Wake County residents, past and present, will be accepted.
     

  • Wake County family cemetery surveys and Bible records will be used as space allows.
     

  • Articles will reflect a balance regarding time periods and needs of both the novice and experienced genealogists.
