Book Description
"Road records...are from pre-Department of Transportation days. ...The road records with which we have worked are loose papers in the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh with the call number of CR.014.925, which falls under the category of 'Miscellaneous Records'... Road records give us names of men designated by the court to help with making and maintaining the roads. The men lived on or within a given distance from a road, usually one to three miles, many of whom were neighbors and often inter-related by marriage. ...Genealogists will find the road records helpful in knowing if their ancestors were in Burke County and in finding names of possible relatives."--Pages [1-2], Volume 1.
