Common Surnames Link
up with others researching your surnames. This page
lists:
- Surname being
researched
- Name and email address of those
researching those surnames
- Links to personal web pages of
researchers with information on individual surnames and/or
specific information on surnames
You can use the form located on the Common Surnames Page to send
your Surnames and Additonal information for posting.
Surname Projects
- Tradition, myth, mystery, common first names, and even wishful
thinking have plagued the history of several of the Old Dobbs
Familys. The goal of this site is for researchers to pool their
information, documentation, and theories to help prove the surname
lines. BRIGHT was our first attempt, and although not finished,
several researchers have helped straighten out some of the BRIGHT
lines. The work continues.
Look at the Surnames currently being worked on. New surnames
are added all the time, the only request is there be a coordinator
(file manager) to whom all the information on that surname can be
sent. Once compiled, the file manager forwards the information to
the webmaster who posts the information on the Surname Projects
Site. If you would like to add a surname project and/or be the
file manager for a project please contact Guy Potts
Family History's
- This site is for posting Family History's that are not part of
a current Surname Project. (there may be one or two exceptions,
like the Caswell's). Links to the Personal Web Pages, where
researchers have posted Family History of Old Dobber surnames, are
also found on this site.
There are a few ways to contribute to
this section:
You can send a gedcom of your family that we can covert to
webpages. Before sending the gedcom, make sure you remove
information on any living individuals, as well as any notes etc,
that you do not want included. Check your gedcom for possible
errors or duplication, whatever is in the gedcom will show up on
the webpages. You may include with this gedcom a brief description
of what it contains, ie; what family names, and area's etc.
You can also send a Genealogy Report of your Family
history, again, make sure that any living individuals have been
removed and should be sent as either a word doc or an rtf
attachment (preferred) to the same email address as above.

- Misc Dobber Records
-
- Primary source documents/information is usually posted in the
North Carolina US GenWeb Archives of the appropriate county,
(Dobbs,
Greene,
Lenoir,
etc). Sometimes files are too large for the archives, the
information involves several counties, or the information does not
fit the categories of the archives, so it is placed on or linked
from this site. Photo's, GIF and/or JPEG files are also found on
this site. This type of information
should be sent as either a word doc, rtf or pdf attachment.
