The cemeteries of Gallia County were censused between 1976 and 1983 by a group of volunteers chaired by Mary James. At that time Mary consulted many resources which led to the discovery of over 500 cemeteries in Gallia County. The Ohio Genealogical Society cemetery project chair has told us that so far Gallia County has reported more cemeteries than any other county in Ohio .
