These volumes list the sources for all information given. The books begin with Charles Dodson, Sr. of North Farnham Parish in VA. Volume 1 follows the descendants of Charles, Sr. into many regions, not just VA. Volume 2 has the "dangling Dodsons"....Dodson lines found that have not been linked back to Charles, Sr., the index, and the sources found in states and counties.
