W 0 m . D WAR I1 MEMORIAL by Beverly Tetterton On May 29, 2004 the National World War I1 Memorial, located on the Mall in Washington, D.C., was dedicated. It honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. World War I1 Registry You can honor members of the World War I1 generation by enrolling them in the World War I1 Registry of Remembrances, a list of individual Americans who participated in the war effort. Access to the registry is available from the main page of the National World War I1 memorial home page http://w.wwiimemorial.coml The Registry of Remembrances is open to any US citizen who helped in the war effort, whether a veteran or a home front volunteer. From the registry page you can enroll an individual by selecting "Register an Honoree. " The Registry of Remembrances includes four databases: 1) Buried in American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) overseas military cemeteries. 2) Memorialized on ABMC Tablets of the Missing. 3) Listed on official War and Navy Department Killed in Service rosters now held by the National Archives and Records Administration 4) Honored by public enrollment in the Registry of Remembrances.

Nationwide Gravesite Locator Another website that will help located soldiers from all wars is the Nationwide Grave Locator http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/ NGL-vl which allows you to search all of the country's National Cemeteries. Most of the 120 Department of Veterans Mairs' national cemeteries (including Wilmington) can be searched. The site tells you the few that are still being added to the database. The site is also has interesting information on who qualifies for National Cemetery burial, where to get headstones and markers (even for Confederates), military funeral honors, where to obtain military records and medals and a history of the program. Wondefil site maps accompany the individual cemetery information. Oral Histories Another project that various historical organizations are encouraging are the taping of oral histories of veterans and those who were active on the home front during the war. Over 1200 citizens of that era are dying every day and their memories will be lost if we do not make a determined effort to preserve these priceless recollections. If you have family members who lived through World War 11, take some time to interview them about their lives. It will be invaluable for future generations of your family.

BOOK CORNER NEW! The long awaited volume of New Hanover County, North Carolina Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 1801-1804 has finally been completed. It was done by transcription master, John Wright Butler, and ably typed and indexed by Ann Hewlett Hutteman, with an introduction by Beverly Tetterton. It fills in a glaring gap in the publication of the county's court minutes. As every one knows, these minutes contain a wealth of information for the genealogist. It may be the only clue to the death date of a decedent who died intestate because the court makes note of administrator and adminstratrix appointments for estates. It places ancestors in a specific county at a specific time as when a free holder served on a jury. The list is simply endless. The cost is $29.00 plus shipping and handling. As announced in the last Clarendon Courier, Greenlawn Memorial Cemetery, Wilmington, NC, Volume One - Four, compiled by J. Kenneth Davis, Jr. and Wills in Deed Book A, Brunswick County, NC 1764-1 772, transcribed by Joseph Sheppard, are also available for purchase. These books would be a valuable addition to the library of any folks doing research in the Lower Cape Fear area. All four volumes of the Greenlawn series are $99.00; Volume I. A to G is $29.00; Volume 11, H to 0 is $27.00; Volume 11, P to Z is $27.00 and Volume IV, the Supplemental Index is $24.00. The Brunswick County Wills book is $9.00. These are only three titles in the nearly 100 books that the ONHGS have published over the years. Write for a complete list of publications to: Kay Berg, 5 1 1 Church Street, Wilmington, NC 2840 1, 910
