About Raleigh Research

We are a company specializing in family history research in North Carolina. Our name, Raleigh Research, draws inspiration from the legendary Sir Walter Raleigh and from the"Triangle" area of Raleigh, North Carolina where our research services are based.

Sir Walter Raleigh was instrumental in the settling of the Carolinas as it was his 16th century colony at Roanoke Island which inaugurated the colonial period in the region. This early settlement was the cradle of some of America's earliest history, a history which has now become such a legend and a legacy. Raleigh was a rare and visionary man who would have undoubtably appreciated the manifold ways in which his vision has evolved over the past 400 years.

Raleigh's vision continues today through the development of the "Research Triangle". The "Triangle", as it is affectionately known includes three of North Carolina's most highly acclaimed cities: Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. This is an exciting region in what has come to be called "the New South", a place where the Triangle has rapidly emerged as an important leader in international business, culture, technology, and education.
