In looking for last week’s North Carolina Thursdays – Elizabeth City State University, Elizabeth City- North Carolina Thursdays July 11, 2019, I came across this week’s choice – World’s Largest Replica of World’s Largest Lighthouse, Elizabeth City- North Carolina Thursdays July 18, 2019: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/3941. I believe my paternal grandparents were born in East Lake, North Carolina. At the minimum, they lived in East Lake for many years before moving to other parts of North Carolina and later Virginia. I will also be doing searches for Alligator River Marina as that is where it’s located. This took much longer than I thought it would as I was having to search East Lake and Columbia as well as Alligator River Marina.
