I would imagine that we could all volunteer by helping Sgt George and Cathi Clore Frost build a big database of the Germanna families, and then have a volunteer email a scan of a First Family of Fauquier applicant to a volunteer on-line to key the new data into the Germanna Database.  If we have a number of projects like this that build on one another -- First Families of Fauquier, First Five Generations of the 1717 Colony, Germanna Revolutionary War Veterans, Germanna in the Civil War -- we'd be buiding the database methodically and sequentially, with the goal of finding all descendants we can in the six years alloted to us for the 300th Jubilee of Germanna in 2014.

I'm currently in KY tracing my Holtzclaw, Martin, Collier,and Foster lines. Please keep us informed. I'm assuming that volunteers need to be on site.

Just curious, what will the First Family of Faquier applications look like? Have they already been developed? Cathi
