The Virginia Room
is the central repository for information on burial sites in Fairfax County. The
Cemetery Survey has its genesis with Jane Kirkpatrick-Wall's 1977 gift of
transcriptions of 100 Fairfax County cemeteries. Staff and volunteers continue
to add to this valuable resource, which now records information on over 350
individual cemeteries.
The Fairfax County Public Library published full transcriptions of all of the
family burial grounds in 1994 under the title
Cemeteries of Fairfax County, Virginia, by Brian A. Conley.
The Fairfax Genealogical Society has undertaken the task of publishing abstracts
of the family, church, and community cemeteries in Fairfax County (excluding
only currently operating commercial cemeteries). This six-volume publication is
titled Fairfax County, Virginia Gravestones.
