    1. Huge list of BOLLINGs
    2. Hi friends, While surfing found the VA Lib, which included a list of names (almost 700 BOLLINGS) from a source called: R. Bolling Batte Papers, under the heading Genealogy. What follows is a brief description of the source, but it says also that some of the pages have notes which say what the source is... Sounds good if you can find a likely candidate! > http://198.17.62.51/collections/cc_archive.html#bio Becky Description of Collection Robert Bolling Batte was born in Norfolk, Virginia on 13 August 1906. He graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1928. He later earned an LL.B. degree from Virginia College of Law. Batte was an engineer with the C & P Telephone Co. and a resident of Richmond. Batte died in Petersburg on 3 June 1996 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk, Virginia. Batte compiled an extensive collection of genealogical and historical research notes and files. Part of the collection consists of more than 30,000 index cards containing biographical information compiled from a variety of original and secondary sources. Each entry contains information on date and place of birth, full names of parents, date and place of marriage(s), spouse's name, education, public offices held, profession, military service, date and place of death, and place of burial. A second card image contains extracts from pertinent documents, tombstone inscriptions, obituary notices and a listing of the subject's children. Each entry also contains codes referring to an index of the sources used in the compilation of the card file.
