New!

While doing his own family research Ray Yount discovered though

Curtis Bynum had included a cross-index of brides to grooms there was no cross-index of the bondspersons in the book

"Marriage Bonds of Tryon and Lincoln Counties, North Carolina". 

 He set about correcting that omission and has very kindly offered  his work to GLGS for the website.
