Nock Family Heritage

I really enjoyed taking part in a genealogy conference today in Maryland. Genealogist Donna Tyler Hollie spoke on the importance of using government census records when doing family research. It is amazing how much information can be found if you know what to look for in these documents.

I’ve just returned from attending the Ghotes Genealogy Conference in Accomack, Virginia. I must say that it exceeded all of my expectations. The list of speakers were a who’s who of Eastern Shore history and genealogy. They all did a wonderful job, and their passion was contagious!

It was also nice to be able to spend a few days with the other attendees who have a love for genealogy, as I do. New friendships were created, and I look forward to continued communication with a number of folks, there. If you have a chance to attend a future conference, I highly recommend it!

I’ve shared a link to information on the upcoming genealogy conference in Craddockville, Virginia. It will be held on June 20-23, 2018. If you have family ties to the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland, this is the event for you! Click on the links below for conference topics and registration. We hope to see you there!

Nocks of Accomack County

Update: There is an upcoming genealogy conference to be held on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the summer of 2018. I had the pleasure of attending the last conference in 2013, and had a wonderful time. If you have family ties to the shore, this is the conference for you. As more information about the conference becomes available, we will post it here on Nock Family Heritage.

Morgan State University will dedicate monuments to its two most successful, and legendary coaches, Earl Banks, and Edward Hurt. The statues were designed and crafted by George Nock. Before coming to prominence as a sculptor in later life, Nock was a well known American football player, first at Morgan State University, then as a professional player in the National Football League.
