CCC records are in the National Archives and at the Civilian Personnel
Records Center in St. Louis. It will be very useful to provide as much
information as you can, including date and place of birth and death (you may
need proof of death: a death certificate, obituary, cemetery record, or
funeral card, etc.). Those records include names of parents, birthplace,
occupation, education, payroll details (often name and address of spouse, as
well as the CCC duty and camp assignments. Some state archives also kept CCC
records. Some CCC records include photos. Some local newspapers may have
articles about the CCC activities in their area and some of the CCC camps
produced camp newspapers. The camps were active from 1933 to 1942 and many
of those men went directly into the military when WWII began and the CCC
Camps disbanded.
I come from Iowa where there were 34 camps by the end of the first year
(1933). I think there were nearly 3 million young men who served in CCC
camps. Some did not tell their families, considering it a bit of an
embarrassment to qualify as poor, single, healthy, and unemployed.
Hope this might help some. Loran in Indiana.
