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 collection of records for the Lunsford family in Dinwiddie County, Virginia and making the initial records available online.
Recovery Project Notice: The current county coordinator has revived this and subsequent pages on the Lunsford line as part of the 2026 Recovery Project. The county coordinator has no additional information and does not verify the accuracy of the research provided, which is assumed to have been accurate when posted by Carol Morrison c. 1997.
