Born in Alamance county and been in Charlotte area since 78. Hope to retire on our beautiful coast one day.
Same here, North Carolina is my home state all my life and I to want to retire on the coast.
Davidson County born and spent majority of life there. Lived briefly in Wilmington, Lincoln County and Mecklenburg and just a few years of college in Kentucky.
I to plan to live on the coast. I found a coastal town that seem that mostly natives live but lol Ill tell ya via rep so hopefully it stays that way so it will always have that southern charm.
Neither I nor my ancestors were immigrants to the USA. We were here in North Carolina when our nation was formed. My mother's maiden name is listed in our first census. King George gave this ancestor a land grant before we declared our independence from England.
Yep! I'm a tarheel born, a tarheel bred and when I die I will be a tarheel dead. And we are not heels; we are tarheels. Big difference between the two words.
NCN, it's actually Tar Heel — two words. I went to J-school at UNC and it was drilled into us.
Unless you are 100% native american, or as they say in Canada first nations, you have immigrant ancestors, whether they came before the Revolution or not. Personally, I can trace my ancestry back to the Mayflower, literally, but I would never say that my ancestors weren't immigrants. They got on that ship and sailed over here, y'know?
Branches of my family have been in NC since before the Revolutionary War, too, but branches were in New England 100 yrs before the Revolutionary War, too, and even fought for the Union in the Civil War!
As for me, I've mostly lived in NC. I did live in Los Angeles for about one year. I'd love to travel more and live elsewhere for a time, but I do like living in NC.
