One of the resources I've never pursued while working on my Halifax County THOMPSON ancestors are cemetery records. I don't know that I've ever come across any published records of cemeteries. Also, I don't know if there happen to be any old cemeteries -- most likely in the immediate vicinity of the city of Halifax -- that it might pay me to visit. I may be getting an opportunity to do some work in Halifax County in the near future, so I'm curious as to whether there are some good "hunting grounds" I might benefit from if I visited. By the way, I actually grew up in Scotland Neck, just down the road from Halifax, so I'm familiar with the old cemetery there. My research so far suggests that my possible ancestors probably lived right around Halifax. I'm not positive, but I have to start somewhere. Thanks for any suggestions.
