Abstract	Elizabeth Easley Ross, a resident of North Carolina, did genealogical research from the 1970s through the 1990s.

The collection includes correspondence, genealogical publications and writings, research notes, family trees, clippings, pictures, and photocopies of historic documents relating to Elizabeth Ross, 1970s-1990s.

Geographical materials chiefly concern North Carolina locations, including Alamance County, Davidson County, Johnston County, Perquimans County, Rockingham County, Wake County, and the towns of Garner, Panther Branch, Salisbury, and Snow Camp. Also included are genealogical publications from Indiana. Other genealogy materials include research notes and notecards, obituaries, clippings, and other materials collected by Ross.
