Abstract:
The North Carolina Cemetery Survey Project is seeking volunteers to record all cemeteries containing graves dated before 1913. The effort began in 1979, when the General Assembly created the Abandoned Cemeteries Study Committee to determine the condition of these forsaken cemeteries throughout the state. Since birth and death statistics were not kept officially in North Carolina before 1913, the only records available for many citizens are in graveyards.
