Researchers to Discuss Essex County Cemetery Project

        Wesley E. Pippenger and Suzanne P. Derieux will address the 
November meeting of the Middle Peninsula African-American Genealogical and 
Historical Society of Virginia (MPAAGHS) on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 11:00 
a.m. at the Essex County Public Library, 117 North Church Lane (Rt. 17), 
Tappahannock, Virginia. Mr. Pippenger and Ms. Derieux will describe the details 
of their Essex County cemetery project. In 2009, they began inventorying all 
public and private cemeteries in the county. Their work on church cemeteries 
is nearing completion whereas the more daunting task of locating private 
burial places will take longer. Plans call for publishing the cemetery data 
that is being collected. The publication will provide an invaluable resource 
to genealogists and family historians.

       Mr. Pippenger is past president of the Virginia Genealogical 
Society. He is author of over 75 publications that deal with abstracting and 
indexing court records, newspaper notices, and many types of records useful to 
genealogical researchers. 

       The public is invited to attend the meeting. For further information
