We just can't help reminding folks. This is such a great boon to researchers. Be sure to check the highlighted collections below.
All past issues of the WCGS Wake Treasures Journal are now available to all Wake researchers any time they need to browse! 24/7. All the time.
There are 31 years of valuable Wake-centric content stored at this link. If you have not checked the offerings yet, you better take a peek to see just what you are missing.
WCGS Publications > Wake Treasures. From the journal landing page, you can browse issues by year or check the subject index that is available for years 1-25 (1995 - 2015). There is an impromptu index that was created for another project. It was covers the years 2007—2022. I started with the year 2022 and works backwards. While not complete, you may still find it helpful for discovery of content and location. It is available in searchable spreadsheet form here. I hope to get this list completed with the earlier content and that from 2023 soon.
Just to show the power of the files available in the Journal, here are some Freedmen’s Records* found in these volumes found by searching freedmen in the newer index: vol. 17.1 (2007), 24.1 (2014), and 24.2 (2014).
Insolvent Debtors* can be found in these issues: vol. 18.2 (2008) all townships, 22.1 (2012), 22.2 (2012), and 28.3 (2018).
Divorce records* are found here - vol. 18.2 (2008), 19.1 (2009), 20.2 (2010), 21.1 (2010/2011), 26.3 (2016), and 27.2 (2017).
* This is a sampling of some of the record sets and topics covered in the journal and is not complete. You will want to browse further in the earlier issues. Check out both indexes described above. Hopefully all issues will be in an index soon.
Once you start browsing within the individual issues, they are searchable by any name, location or topic within. Have fun looking for your ancestors!
