Current Research: Summer 2023

I am currently researching Kinston & Lenoir County, NC during World War II. I’ve been utilizing microfilmed copies of the “Kinston Daily Free Press,” Lenoir County’s daily newspaper during the war. I’ve also been perusing records at the National Archives, both in Washington, DC and Atlanta, GA., in addition to records at the NC State Archives, Search Rm. When time and schedule permit, I have also begun interviewing Lenoir County citizens who lived during that period. Be on the lookout for upcoming articles and a book on this subject matter.
