Over 6,500 names listed, enabling many readers to trace lost ancestors. A large collection of historical illustrations, maps, engravings and photographs from the Carolinas and Scotland. Since Gaelic was once the second language of the Cape Fear region, there is also a unique section actually in Gaelic, on the historic and current status of the Gaelic language in Carolina.
