Re: Seeking records for "Squire Coffey"

1 person found this helpfulDear Ms. Goodman,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
Birth and death records were not recorded in North Carolina at the county or state level prior to 1913 [with the exception of the cities or Raleigh (birth records begin 1890) and Wilmington (birth records begin 1904)]. There are cases where delayed birth records were issued by counties going back as far as 1800. Any delayed birth records issued are indexed by the North Carolina State Archives and the originals are kept by each county’s Register of Deeds.
Because of this, you may need to search records different from a traditional birth or death certificate in order to locate specific birth or death details. These records can include: birth, death, cemetery, newspaper, church/family bible, census, and military. This listing from Family Search summarizes some of the vital records available for North Carolina. There is a section at the bottom relevant to substitute records.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Re: Seeking records for "Squire Coffey"
Henry Rosenberg May 6, 2019 2:02 PM (in response to pawsonlady)Glad to help out. I had done some genealogical research last year for mine and my wife's family. We are Jewish and mostly Eastern European. Very difficult to find much but I was able to find some. It's amazing to see families with longstanding U.S. roots. Good luck in your search.
Henry
