This collection is the largest compilation of the Iowa WPA cemetery records found in one single place. The database was created from copies of the transcriptions created by the Works Progress Administration; because of multi-generational copies some names were hard to decipher.  As with any genealogical index, the data is to be used as a finding aid to original records.  Records in this database generally include the page number where the record can be found in the WPA index, the name of the deceased, birth date, death date, age, cemetery name, town name, and additional comments if any.
