Moravians of North Carolina

The people in this project consist of German Moravians (wikipedia) that settled in the Wachovia area of North Carolina, including Bethania and Salem.
These people tended to keep meticulous records and are some of the most well-documented of our ancestors.
Because they were a part of a very close, sometimes bureaucratic society, it is fascinating to see how each acted as a piece of the community puzzle, fulfilling necessary roles.
