Update to Funeral Programs Database

About a month ago, I made a commitment to updating my (Mostly) African American Funeral Programs database every Friday, however, for the past two weeks, my Friday schedule hasn't allowed for it.  In fact, the weekends have been so busy, I haven't been able to get to the database at all.  I've figured out that I need to just add the information to the database whenever I have the time, and then schedule the updates to come out on Fridays.  Umm... yeah.  So, the brain is working on overload right now.  But, it's still working!

So, even though today is Sunday, I've found some time to add to the database, bringing the total entries to 200!  It may not seem like much, but given the time it takes to input the information, I'm happy with it (for now).  Today's additions include persons from North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and New Jersey.

Here's today's featured program!

Plans are in the works to turn the database into an actual website, and to eventually scan the programs and make them clickable, but for now, if you see a name of interest, simply make a request in the comment section, and I will scan, and send it to you!  (Be sure to include your email address.) Alternatively, you can email me, directly, if you'd like to make your request privately.

The following new surnames were added to the database, today. 

Anderson

Baker

Bell,

Blacknall

Boone

Davidson

Dent

Dungee

Harris

Hayes

Holden

Horton

Hoskins

Johnson

Leonard

Massenburg

Nicholson

Pettiford

Ruffin

Thomas

Until the next Friday update....

Today's featured program is that of Mr. King A. Williams.

As always, I am happy to scan and email copies of any of the funeral programs in the database.  All you have to do is email me at yarsan@aol.com with the name of the deceased, or make your request in the comments section, below.  Just be sure to provide me with your email address!  Also, in some cases, I have multiple copies of a program, and will happily mail out an original, if requested. 

Funeral programs are often rich with genealogical data!  Be sure to browse my entire database for surnames of interest.  You might just find an ancestor waiting there!

Happy ancestor hunting!
