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....

More Funeral Programs in African American Database

More funeral programs have been added to my database of "African American Funeral Programs".  Yes, I've decided to change the name of the database. Since it seems that all of the programs I have at this time are those of African Americans, it seems to be the best name to give it!

I've also decided to start listing the surnames of each additional set of programs I add, when I announce them on the blog.  Here are the surnames that I've added this evening:

Alston

Branch

Burson

Carey

Fain

Green

Harris

Hawkins

Perry

Hayes

Perry

Prescod

Thomas

Williams

Yarborough

 

The entire database can be accessed by clicking on this link: African American Funeral Programs . As a reminder, I will happily provide any information you'd like from any of the programs in the database, or, if you'd like, I will scan any program and send it to you, electronically.  

 

Please spread the word about this database.  My collection continues to grow, and I will continue to add to this database, at least weekly!

 

Thanks!

Renate
