The Forsyth
County Historic Resources Commission (HRC) is
celebrating Cultural and Historic Landscapes of Winston-Salem
and Forsyth County during the year 2009. There are events
planned through out the year, especially in May, which is
Historic Preservation Month.

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. |
