Virginia: People

While Virginia is thirty-fifth in size, its population is twelfth. In 2020 Virginia had a population of more than 8 million 650,000 people and more than 69,254 deaths. This state is also recognizable for the huge number of celebrities born here who have become famous not only in the United States, but also outside the states. Kelly Barrett, Andre Kayson, Jared McEachern, and many other great names are familiar to you.

But it's not just celebrities that make Virginia famous. The state is also home to a great number of people who all have their own stories to tell. Finding out a public person's story is easy: just search the internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is a little more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.

How to search for an obituary?

Since Virginia is the forty-fifth largest state, it can still take a long time to find a dead person. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system right away.

The first thing you need to pay attention to and what can help you is to get as much accurate information about the person as possible. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.

Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.

A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.

There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of the public libraries in Virginia. Libraries are staffed by professionals who can tell you how to do your search properly. Many libraries have information about people who died more than two centuries ago.

You can use the state filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that state. You can also filter by first and last name, city, and date of death.
