USAGE CAVEAT - IMPORTANT!!!

In general, the sources for the information in this file (Excel) were the cemetery inscription surveys that are linked to the Halifax County GENWEB site. The exceptions are:

a. Several of the volunteer indexers visited the cemeteries they were indexing and made corrections/updates

b. A number of volunteers added maiden names and other notes to one or more of the cemeteries they indexed

c. Iris Shea contributed a file she had built for the Jollimore Cemetery based on inscriptions, civil/parish burial records, funeral home records, newspaper articles, etc.

All entries are pretty much self-explanatory except for the first (#) column. Although some cemetery listings were organized alphabetically, the large majority were organized geographically, thus providing information about who was buried next to whom. To preserve that information, each "group" in a given cemetery listing was assigned a sequential "Plot Number"; if more than one person was listed in that group, every person in the group was assigned that same plot number. To be certain that plot number provides geographical information, the original on-line cemetery listing should be consulted.

Finally, to quote the late Don Shankle: "These data should be used as a guide only. All researchers should check the originals to preclude including errors made by others in their work."
