Index to Anson County WPA Cemetery Records

In the 1930′s and 1940′s, the workers of the Works Progress Administration (now called the Works Projects Administration) set out to record burial information for cemeteries across the state.  These records are provided online by the NC State Archives and State Library of NC; visit their website to view the PDF file.  You can learn more about the compilation work to put these records together on the NC Miscellany blog

In order to make the records easier for you to navigate, we have provided an all-name index to the Anson County burials included in the WPA records.  See the list below.


College Students from Anson County

Did you know that the NCGenWeb Project offers an index database of college and high school students at schools around the state?

A list of students from Anson County extracted from that database has been added to this site.  Sisters Florence Myrtle Ashcraft and Mary Boshamer Ashcraft, shown below, are both graduates of Meredith College and are just two of the more than 200 individuals from Anson County found in the listing.
