Upchurch and Allied Families Update

Upchurch and Allied Families Newsletter for Fall 2018 is here for your viewing.

Message from WCGS member, Judy Rysdon:

Do you have roots or a strong interest in Wake County?

Allied Families are families who are from Wake and surrounding counties who have lived here, intermarried and interacted here for generations. Phil Upchurch has been collecting information on these families for 60 years or more.

He opened an office in Cary for the purpose of preserving this information on websites and on Ancestry Trees in 2016. We have been meeting there on Thursdays from 2-4, and beginning on October 6, 2018 we will also be meeting on Saturday afternoons from 2-4. In addition to digitizing Phil's collection, we will copy photos brought to us and we can't help sharing stories as we work. Drop by and see if this is your cup of tea. Or just share a cup and a story with us. Check us out at http://www.alliedfamilies.com/ and http://www.upchurchstory.com/
