Genealogy has exploded as a pastime over the last 20 years. The increased availability of digitized documents, the popularity of television shows such as Who Do You Think You Are? and Finding Your Roots, and dropping prices for DNA testing mean that more people than ever are interested in learning about their own family histories.

If you have ancestors who lived in or passed through North Carolina and South Carolina, particularly the central region known as the Piedmont; if you want to know more about their daily lives — who and where and when, even why; if you are ready to take your family history to the next level, Carolina Roots Genealogical Research provides professional research services to help get you there.
