This page is dedicated to all of the wonderful transcribers and contributors that we have for the Duplin NCGenWeb site.

They have each worked tirelessly to transcribe any and all records that are sent in, or they have worked very hard at finding information on their families and have been generous enough to share it with everyone.

I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you!

If I have omitted someone that should be on this list PLEASE let me know so that I can add them in. I don't want anyone forgotten for their contributions in making this the best site to do Duplin County Research.

Transcribers

John Evans ~ John has been very generous in contributing cemetery photos and 
transcriptions as well as various corrections and other additions.

Lillian & Pearl Houston ~ Lillian emailed me when I first took this site over and 
offered to help me build it into a site to be proud of and she has done just 
that!  She has gone out in the heat and cold to find all of the lost and 
abandoned cemeteries and transcribed each one by hand and then typed 
up and sent the transcriptions to me to add to the  site. The first cemetery 
we worked on together was Rockfish Presbyterian Church, it was 
huge and we didn't even get 1/2 of it finished before I had to leave and return 
home. I couldn't get back to help finish it, but she kept at it until we got all 
of it transcribed and online. She has also tirelessly transcribed 90% of the 
census records we have online now. She has worked on them steadily for 5 
years and has almost completed them. She has learned to work with templates 
that I sent to that it would be easier for me to post the massive amounts of 
information that she transcribes. The templates have HTML incorporated into 
them and she was very eager to learn how to work with them to make it easier 
on me.She has also sent in  huge files of the families she is working on to add 
to the families pages. She also goes out and photographs the cemeteries and
gets the GPS coordinates for each one so that everyone can find the exact 
locations for each of them. Without Lillian and Pearl this site would not be half 
of what it is today! We all owe them a debt of gratitude!


Helen Peterson ~ Helen has helped with Revolutionary War and Civil War records 
as well as anything else that I have asked or sent her way. She is also helping to 
transcribe cemeteries from the photos on other sites as well as all she does to help 
with Duplin.


Nancy Prouty ~ Nancy has jumped in and transcribed any and everything that I have 
sent her as well as learned how to work with the HTML templates so that all of the 
massive amounts of transcriptions she does are easier for me to post. Her husband 
Jeff even took the time to make a merging program for her to make it easier to do the 
templates.

Jackie Purdy ~ Jackie has been a champ at doing any and everything I have sent for 
transcriptions as well as transcribing and sending in letters, stories, family histories 
and many other things to add to the site. She also learned to work with the HTML 
template and is always one of the first to help me out when I have something new 
that needs doing. Jackie has also been a sounding board for me when I get frustrated 
when no one is sending innew information and also helps me to come up with new 
things to add to the site.

Katherine Ricker ~ What can I say about Katherine! She has worked tirelessly helping 
to transcribe records and even learned to work with the HTML template. She has 
transcribed for the Duplin site as well as the Revolutionary War and whatever else I have 
sent her way. She has made me laugh through all of the frustrations I have
had, and there have been plenty! She has always had a cheerful outlook on whatever 
came our way. When controversies arise on the mailing list or even with me (I think she
is psychic!) She is always there with an email to brighten my day and to help me trudge 
through it.  When I have wanted to throw my hands up and yell  "Uncle, I quit!" Katherine 
is always there to bring me back down to earth. She has really been a blessing to me.

records as well as NC Marriage records for us. She works tirelessly along with all of 
the other transcribers and pitches in wherever I need hered her.

well as contributed a number of other records to the site. She is also willing to jump in and
help other researchers in need.

site. Without her expertise, knowledge and gerous sharing of information we wouldn't have things
like the Postmasters and other things available to us!

as well as photos and  family tree information. I am sure there is much more that he has 
contributed as well!
