Hi Cousins, Don't forget our other "w", which is, unfortunately, and "H" - HOW? How did they live, how did they travel, how did they cook their food, launder their clothes. . . . .? Personally, it would have made it easier in my journalism classes if "how" had been spelled "whow" - that's what Patty's students would say when they finished their projects. (not pronounced "whoa", but WOW). So, who, what, when, where and WHOW.

Answers to the 5 W's provide us with clues that make our ancestors "real" and not just another name. I have so many, many, questions. I seriously began research after retiring last year after 27 years teaching fourth grade in Tennessee. Tennessee History was a part of the fourth grade curriculum. One of my big projects is to write a history of Tennessee for my grandchildren using their ancestors as characters beginning with their Cherokee Indian Heritage and the earliest white settlements, encompassing all of the wars and most recently a deputy governor. It is difficult to tell this story without bringing two other major states NC and VA. I am so interested in the migration patterns of my ancestors.

Pat, In answer to your questions, I have found these two books invaluable for study of the sociology and culture of early colonial times, especially in Virginia: "Albion's Seed, Four British Folkways in America", and "Bound Away, Virginia and the Westward Movement". Both are by David Hackett Fischer, "Bound Away" co-authored with James C. Kelly. Both are soft-bound, in print, and should be available at larger B.Dalton and similar book stores. I found "Albion's Seed" on the shelf, and was able to special order "Bound Away". "Albion's Seed" is the more comprehensive of the two, and at 945 pages, far from light reading. In his preface, Mr. Fischer styles it as a "Cultural History". A second volume, "American Plantations" is referenced on the back of the 1st page, but does not seem to have made it to print. "Bound Away" is more focused on the personalities, politics and other powers that drove migration to, through, and beyond Virginia. In it, the cultural factors are secondary, and relegated to a final chapter. Both have extensive maps, illustrations, an even some genealogical charts of some of the prominent families. The genealogical charts are primarily to illustrate child naming patterns, or onomastic customs, which varied considerably based on the customs of the applicable British heritages.
