If anyone has any lineage to North Carolina (especially Colerain/Ahoskie/Chowan/Herford) Belch's, e mail me so we can compare notes. I am 22 years old and in college and relatively new to the geneology game, but am extremely interested. I had no idea there were this many Belch's in America!! its a comforting thought that i'm not the only one who has a name that is so subject to being made fun of!!
