Hi, I just got DeedMapper in mid-February and have not had time to do much with it yet. However, one of the areas I'm interested in is the area of Lunenburg Co VA from the Middle Fork of the Meherrin River west into Charlotte Co. I have concentrated until now on tracking down records from the Edgefield District of South Carolina, many of which belong to people who came from Lunenburg. I have now "moved back" to Lunenburg itself and am just beginning to learn the ins and outs of Virginia deeds and patents. I don't feel capable of offering much in the way of help since I don't know much about VA records, but I would be happy to order copies of Lunenburg or Charloote deeds and share results with those who are also researching this area. I feel almost overwhelmed at learning a whole new area, and I don't have a lot of time because of work constraints. But I would be delighted to help out in any way possible. The direct line family I'm researching in Lunenburg is the JOHNSON family descending from Joseph who came from Goochland about 1746 with his brother Isaac. His children intermarried with the WILLINGHAMs, WOODs, MELONEs, FOSTERs, SULLIVANTS and other families I have not yet been able to identify. if someone with more knowledge of the area would like to suggest what I can contribute to this research, I would welcome the suggestion and be happy to contribute what I can. I am eager to learn how to use DeedMapper (I did manage to "draw" one plat so far) but I haven't tried putting it together with other from a neighborhood. David JOHNSON, my direct ancestor, had land he got from Josiah Shipp on Crupper Run, I believe. Barbara Schenck
