Records of Interments

Blandford Cemetery holds five (5) original ledger books titled "Records of Interments," spanning a century of burials from late 1843 through 1943. Due to the fragile physical condition of these historical books, they are restricted from public access at the Blandford Cemetery Office. Microfilm copies of the books (with the exception of the missing 1872–1877 volume) are preserved and available at the Library of Virginia in Richmond.

When Ancestry migrated and made "read only" the legacy RootsWeb platform, which was the host site for the Dinwiddie County, Virginia USGenWeb pages, some early pre-2006 USGenWeb transcriptions were not transferred to modern servers and became unavailable to researchers. As part of our Dinwiddie County USGenWeb Record Recovery Project, we are actively recovering and republishing these lost resources into our updated local repository.

Special Thanks: We extend our sincere gratitude to former County Coordinator Carol A. Morrison (Fayetteville, NC) for initiating this massive transcription effort and making the initial records available online. Carol completed transcriptions for the first five years of interments (1843 through 1847).

While our general year-by-year transcription project currently covers 1843 through 1847, former coordinator Carol A. Morrison compiled a multi-generational extraction of Lunsford / Lunceford interments spanning 1848 through 1938 from the original register books.
