Alice, I am from Fayetteville, NC and still have family there. I recently began researching my family's geneology.
Here is the contact information for you: Cumberland County Genealogical Society PO Box 53299. Fayetteville, NC 28305

I would also like to tell you about a book that you may find very interesting. The book is
"Slavery by Another Name" written by Douglas A Blackmon.

You will never view things quite the same.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
