The State Library of North Carolina and the State Archives looking for records in family Bibles. The library and archives are especially interested in Bibles that include records with dates before 1913. That's because a statewide vital records law took effect that year, meaning that previous to 1913, family records were the best way to keep track of births, deaths, marriages and other important dates. The two agencies have created a digital collection called North Carolina Family Records online, which transcribes and digitizes nearly 220 family Bible records and the six-volume "Marriage and Death Notices from Raleigh Register and North Carolina State Gazeteer: 1799-1893." Anyone interested in donating Bible records should contact Druscie Simpson at Druscie.Simpson@ncdcr.gov.
