Early Obituary Index

OBITUARY INDEX

    The following is an index to the Early Norfolk, Portsmouth, Va area obituaries on the next pages. On the obit pages, the obituaries are listed in a rough Chronological order, taken from local newspapers. [these are not my relatives, just random obituaries from this area]  If you see your ancester here, click the Appropriate "Section button" [i.e. Sect I, Sect II, Sect III,] to go to the obituary page.  

     If you don't see your ancestor here, go to the obituary pages anyway.  Many obits list the survivors, witnesses, and Pallbearers -- This may give you a clue as to where and when one of your ancestors may have been living and some are just very interesting. Use the "FIND" option under Edit on your menu, to go to the name on the pages.
Good luck in your research.

This is a good site if you want to know what the Day of the month a certain date is:
