There are some things to know about Virginia cemetery records before you get started:
- There are several methods you can use to get Virginia cemetery records and tombstone transcriptions. Some people use an online search and database. Others try to go to a cemetery in person because they can see the surrounding burial plots to see if there are any other family members to be included in the family tree.
- It is important to try to know what county a person may be buried in when looking for Virginia cemetery records. Keep in mind, though, that this may not be the same as the county they lived in. In fact, many people are returned to their original birthplace as their final resting place. In this case, a person could very well be in a different state.
- You can also look for national cemeteries when searching for a person using Virginia cemetery records. Virginia is a state that has many more national cemeteries than other states with around 18 of them. Of course, if they were in the military their final resting place could also be affected by this.
You may be surprised by what you can find on Virginia cemetery records. You can find data such as a full legal name and sometimes the name of other relatives. You may also be able to find on Virginia cemetery records where a person was born in addition to when. The bottom line is that when it comes to a reliable source full of data, there are few other resources as helpful. Give Virginia cemetery records a try for your genealogy project and see how much it can help you.
