I developed and hosted the Wayne County, NCGenWeb site for 5 years, from 1996-2001.  So as to concentrate more on own family research and my other projects, I turned the web site over to North Carolina GenWeb Project.  The site as I developed it, however is still online here and I continue to maintain and update it as I acquire new material.

Hello summer!

The sun is shining,  green is bursting out all over, bringing the latest edition of the Wayne County Genealogy Project.  I  strive to provide our researchers with the tools they need to succeed.  You can play a part in enriching the genealogy experience by contributing materials.  Get involved!

A Message from site coordinator Diana Holland Faust

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Wayne County.  If you have any suggestions as to ways I might improve this page, if you have material you think should be included, if you have links to suggest, or if you just want to say hello, please email me.  If you found any links or graphics not working, please let me know. URL's change from time to time, and sometimes I don't hear about it. 

My people came from Wayne County, North Carolina which is why I sponsor this page although I live in Alabama. When I volunteered to publish and maintain this page, no information pertaining to Wayne County or genealogy in general was given to me.  Please consider this a cooperative effort.  The page belongs to you as much as it does to me, and perhaps you have information that would enrich it.  If so, please offer to share it.  I just publish here what you, the users, provide. 

Best of luck with your research. Come back often! 

NOTICE:   Please Read - As coordinator for Wayne County, I am simply the person who puts the page together and maintains it.  I am by no means an expert on genealogy, Wayne County, nor do I have knowledge of any individual families.  Regrettably, I don't even live in North Carolina. Therefore, I hope you will understand that I am unable to answer individual questions about Wayne County history or Wayne County families (other than my own family).  If you have questions, please write them for public postings and send them in the form of queries to be published.
