[Shop-talk] residentual wiring question

[Rich White]

I'm working with wiring in an older building.  Some of the outlets do not have
a grounding, bare/green, wire in the box.
I want to provide the user with an outlet which will accept a three prong
plug.

As I remember NEC from about twenty years ago...
if I put a GFCI outlet as the first outlet in the circuit, I can use ground
outlet in the rest of the circuit even though there isn't a grounding wire.

Is this still the case?
