Generations
Genealogy Research by Elizabeth Harris
I'm Elizabeth Harris, a biologist at Duke University. I've been working on my family history for several years, and I've put some of the information I have onto the web, in order to make new contacts and to help others with their research. I'm working on several different clusters of families in several geographic areas, and I will continue to add new information as time permits. Please check back occasionally to see what's new.

I am currently moving the individual pages on this site to a new address. This will allow me much more room for expansion, including more photographs, documents, and some non-genealogy material.
My areas of interest are as follows:
- Mostly Moravians and other German-speaking settlers in the Winston-Salem NC area (Rowan, Stokes, Forsyth Counties). My cousin Faye Jarvis Moran and I have an extensive web site on our families in this area. We have many links to other names - please take a look to see if yours appear!
The names in my direct line on this site are DIEZ, DOUB, ELROD, ESCHENBACH, FREY, GRABS, HAUSER, HEGE, HOLDER, KOERBER, LANIUS, PFAFF, ROMIG, ROMINGER, SPAINHOUR, TRANSOU, VOLCK (FULK), WALK, and WERNER
- Mostly Quakers in Randolph and Guilford Counties, NC. Surnames include
BLAIR,
ENGLISH,
GRAY,
LAMAR,
MILLIKAN,
SMITH,
TOMLINSON,
and associated families. The
Mendenhall Family Association page includes some of these same families.
- Various families in Union and Cabarrus Counties, NC. Surnames include
CAWTHORNE,
CONDER,
JEROME,
MCLARTY,
MORRISON, and
THOMPSON.
- Davie County NC, partly linked to Faye Moran's page listed above. Names include
BRINEGAR,

- The Norfolk, Virginia, area, going back to the 1600s. My ancestors there are
BALLENTINE,
CAWSON,
CHURCH,
CUTHRELL,
ETHERIDGE,
FLEMING and others. I have quite a bit of information on various other families in this area before about 1750, and would be happy to share.
- My husband's folks in Lycoming County and Susquehanna Counties PA (BOATMAN,
CONNELLY,
CONNER,

The RODERICKs share common ancestors with the ROTHROCK family of PA and NC.

Names include BARBER, BIRDSALL, BLACKWELL, COOK, HALL, HART, HAWLEY, JENNEY, JEROME, LATHROP, LOOMIS, MERIHEW, PARMELEE, ROYCE, SPOONER, WARREN, and many others. I'm not actively researching these names at present, but have information on many of them and again, would be happy to share.
- Two sons-in-law and a daughter-in-law have joined my family since this web page was started. Surnames in their families include:

Most of these families were in North Carolina, especially Alamance, Bertie, Cabarrus, Chatham, Hertford, Moore and Randolph counties.
