Zebulon family history and ancestry

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local North Carolina family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal North Carolina family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
  • Most common causes of death in your family history
  • United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Most popular professions and careers in your family history
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of North Carolina, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

What is going on with this town?

The environment is gorgeous. It's a great location, being reasonably close to Wendell/Knightdale/Raleigh but being far enough away to stay comfortably rural. Businesses and residential builders appear to be interested in developing the area a bit, but not too quickly. Many residents have proven to be kind and sensible. It has real potential to be a great place to live for young families.

Despite this, some people in the area seem wildly irresponsible or malicious, particularly when it comes to gun safety and garbage. Many (not all) roads have trash peppering the drainage ditches, and not just small items like napkins, paper, and plastic bags - big items like mattresses and destroyed furniture. But worse than that, gunshots will sound in the air for hours at a time in a way that's clearly not legal (i.e. not for hunting or defense - someone ammo dumps or does target practice in their yard near other homes, instead of at a gun range). I've spoken to people who've had stray bullets go through their walls due to careless shooting, and I have lost many hours of sleep from anxiety induced by gunshots sounding way too close to my home at night, or from a large load of tannerite being detonated nearby where the shockwave nearly destroys my windows/eardrums.

I decided to post here to see if there are other like-minded people who care about these problems and if anyone has suggestions to make things better? At the very least, I think a reasonable goal would be for residents to feel safe in their own homes and to be considerate to the community around them.

Do you guys know any internet service providers in the zebulon area?

I just moved here a few days ago and I want to get the internet setup for my job. Any good providers apart from centurylink? Even better if a service provider is moving over here.

Zebulon seriously needs more gas stations

My mom and I were driving out to Zebulon last Friday to help my cousin and his wife move into their rental home, which they will be living in until the house being built on the piece of land they bought is finished (if it ever will be, since it's been over a year overdue). Our car's GPS took us in completely the wrong direction and we had to drive 20 miles all the way back to where we were supposed to go and by the time we were getting there, we only had 15 miles left. Good thing I decided to look up the nearest gas station on my phone. But in between us having to drive all those miles back the right way, there were no gas stations at all. Not even a little tiny one.
