WPA Technical Series: Research and Records Bibliography No. 7;
Revised April 1943. This work was originally prepared by the Work
Projects Administration (formerly the Works Progress
Administration), and entitled "WPA Research and Records
Bibliography No. 4," dated September 12, 1940, and "Research and
Records Bibliography No. 4, revised," issued September 1, 1941.
With this printing, the publication was reissued with the title
"Bibliography of Research Projects Reports: Check List of
Historical Records Survey Publications, revised April 1943," which
better reflects the content of the book. This is the final listing
of "Historical Records Survey" publications issued between 1936 and
1943, which were prepared under various names and several related
federal programs. Included in these publications are transcriptions
of state, county, town and municipal records, taken from the
various archives that provide detailed information accumulated by
each governing body and that depict important and relevant
historical data to the genealogist and historian. Many of the
records transcribed included minutes of meetings, matters taken
before the court, and the work product of various commissions and
boards. Also of vital interest to researchers are listings of what
reports or publications are available for the various states,
counties, and municipalities, and, more importantly, where those
publications are located.
This work was originally prepared by the Work Projects
Administration (formerly the Works Progress Administration), and
entitled "Calendar of Wills in West Virginia: No. 49, Upshur County
(Buckhannon)." With this printing, the publication is reissued with
the title "Upshur County, West Virginia: Abstracts of Wills,
1851-1884," which better reflects the content of the book. Upshur
County's will records are complete from 1851, the date of
establishment of the county. In compiling this work, the
abstractors limited the publication to wills recorded prior to
1885. Thus only Will Book A has been used. The wills contained
herein are entered chronologically by date of probate and are
arranged as follows: name of testator, occupation of testator if
shown, place will made, date will made, date of probate, names of
devisees, name of executor, abstract of will, names of witnesses to
will, book and page number of recording, and assigned calendar
number. There are approximately 1,400 individuals listed in the
index. Paperback, (1941), 2012, Index, 104 pp.
