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

Names added to NC Funeral Programs

Well, it's been a while, but I've finally added about 60 more names to the spreadsheet.  It's pretty time-consuming, and I just haven't had much time! 

The earliest funeral program I've come across is still the one from the 1940s, which I shared in the previous post, however all decades since then are represented in the collection, with persons who were born as early as the 1870's. 

Readers, please share the link to this page via social media, especially if your network includes researchers with roots in North Carolina.  So far, all of the programs are for African-Americans, but you never know who might have an interest in who! :)

Today's featured program is for Beatrice Holcomb, a distant cousin of mine, whom I never had the pleasure of meeting.

As a reminder, I will gladly scan and mail any of the programs out.  Just contact me via the blog for details. :)

I will try to post more names, very soon! Here, again, is the link to the spreadsheet.

Blessings,
Renate

Oh! I forgot to mention that I just added the column for place of birth today, when I was for than halfway finished added the newest ones. I'll have to go back and pull out all the others to add the places of birth. Can't do it tonight, but it will be soon!
