The NC marriage records and tombstone inscriptions projects, originally
created by Marceline Beem for NCGenWeb, have been expanded into a general
birth-marriage-death records project that now includes several other states
besides North Carolina. This project has a new address:
http://bmdproject.rootsweb.com
Parts of the project are still in beta testing, but we'd like to go ahead
with a general announcement. If you had links on your county pages to the
old marriage and tombstone inscriptions databases, please change them to
this new combined URL.
These databases are based entirely on user submissions of individual
records, and are distinct from the NC cemetery transcription project where
burial lists of entire cemeteries are presented.
The death records submission has been completely overhauled. It's not just
tombstone inscriptions now, but includes places to enter cause of death,
death certificate number if available, and other information. The new
database can also accept photographs of tombstones.
