Greetings,
I have vols. 1 and 2 of George Calvin Waldreps
"Halifax County (Virginia) Cemeteries."

These 2 vols. contain the names and locations of over
300 cemeteries located in Halifax County Virginia.

The books contain inscriptions from gravestones found in these 300 plus
graveyards. Information containing surname, given name, date of birth, date
of death, etc., was copied from the graves

Mr. Waldrep stated in Vol. 2 that he had info on about 80 more cemeteries in
Halifax Co, that he did not get to cover, so these two books do not cover all
cemeteries in Halifax Co Va.
------------------------------------

I also have a booklet :

"Tombstone Inscriptions taken from Private Cemeteries
In Halifax County, Virginia vol. 1"
Compiled by Kenneth Harvey Cook.
the date on the booklet is November 1969.

The booklet is 40 pages long, and contains info on about 54 cemeteries.
The cemeteries tend to be small.

In this booklet, I found about 9 cemeteries not covered in George Calvin
Waldreb IIIs "Halifax Co. (VA) Cemeteries" books.

I will do surname lookups.

In order to not clog up this list for those not interested,
I will not answer requests posted to this list.

Please, send your requests to me at:
