The IOWA WPA Graves Registration transcription project continues to see its searchable online database grow rapidly. In just over 3 months we find ourselves with over 275,000 burial records now online statewide. Most of us familiar with the WPA records know that occasional errors were made by the WPA workers when they collected and recorded this data back in the late 1930s. We now have a new tool that will enable interested parties to make corrections to those errors or to add useful data by way of digital “Post-em Notes”. WPA Post-em Notes can be used for many purposes by clicking on the individual's name and using the form provided. Some Examples: · “This is my gg-grandfather. Would like to exchange info with others related.” · “John Smith’s birthdate was actually 26 Oct 1898 per obituary [state source].” · “Frederick Smith's wife’s maiden name was Mary Johnson. Email me for more info.” · “Burial place is incorrect as listed. Should be Graceland Cem., Henry Twp.” · “I have info on other relatives with this surname not listed in WPA records. Contact me.” Below are a couple of examples of actual Post-em Notes. Click on the person’s name to see the actual Post-em note. http://iowawpagraves.org/index.php?lc=1&last=Rockefellow&fc=1&first=&cid= http://iowawpagraves.org/index.php?lc=1&last=Lamborn&fc=1&first=&cid=80 Rich Lowe Iowa WPA Grave Online Project http://iowaWPAgraves.org
