"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4

My Thanks and Appreciation To Everyone For Making and Updating the Memorials on FindAGrave.com.

I appreciate everyone who contributes to the memorials that are in my care. When you upload a photo of a document or other item, PLEASE include the source info as this is greatly helpful to other researchers. Genealogy without sources is Mythology.

Please let me know of any updates or additional information you may have on any of the memorials that I am managing.

An excellent resource for Craven County, North Carolina and surrounding counties obituaries is the New Bern Obituary Index. As of 2025, over 185,000 obituaries from the 1750s to the present have been indexed by John, Victor, and Vern at the New Bern-Craven County Public Library Kellenberger Room. You may access the New Bern Area Obituary Index via this link http://newbern.cpclib.org/research/obituary.html.

PLEASE NOTE: We were impacted by Hurricane Florence in 2018 so it may take longer than normal for us to reply to any queries. Almost eight long years later there are still thousands of flood survivor homeowners representing tens of thousands of people who still have not yet returned to our homes. Thank you.

All The Best,

David
