The Ancestry Daily News announces the addition of new databases at the Ancestry.com site at the top of the newsletter. With the move to larger, but less frequent rolls of new data, Juliana began early last year to showcase “Ancestry Classics” -- that is, databases that have been around for a while, but that may have been missed or become buried and forgotten.

In the Ancestry Daily News of 6 January 2006, the “Ancestry Classic” really piqued my research interest. It is the North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868.
