A wonderful tool to any genealogist is the cemetery head-stone. It can tell you
so much about a deceased person; born, died, places lived, religion, familiy affiliations,
etc... There are hundreds of cemeteries in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
In the next few weeks, we will be attempting to get the local cemeteries to provide information
for us to list here. We intend to eventually include location of each plot within the cemetery,
all personal information, and the actual head-stone inscription. In the meantime, I will be
listing cemeteries here, with contact information. We will also be visiting some of the less
active cemeteries and collecting the information manually.
For listings of other cemeteries across the country, please visit USGenWweb's
The Tombstone
Transcription Project. It is an excellent listing of
cemeteries large and small, is easily navigated, and very
informative!
This is an alphabetical listing of many of those cemeteries, but is by no means all inclusive.
