One Name Studies
Purpose Statement
- To recognize the founding members and their families of local Moravian communities and creating a way to identify them on their profiles. As well as provide a space with resources to help those trying to research their ancestors.
- To identify profiles that are unsourced or unconnected and correctly connect them and give them biographies and proper sources.
- To create free space pages for each of the six original Moravian settlements. Provide the history and research information for each settlement.
- To create a list of correct surnames, not all Germans to N.C. were Moravians, and create a list of local cemeteries where most of the early Moravian settlers are buried.

A very long time ago I created an every name index for part of the "Old Salem Official Guidebook." The edition I had was missing the cover and first 13 pages, including the title and copyright page.
If you're interested in the index, I still have the original file. It is currently posted on my rootsweb site at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~debic/salem.htm
While that book is by no means a primary source, my hope was that a name index could make it more useful when looking for clues.
