Forwarded on to you from ILJEFFER list: Listers; A new web site worth visiting: http://www.pastportal.com/ This is a digital library project of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation & the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library. The Past Portal web site offers a complete run, in digital form, of every known issue of the Virginia Gazette from 1736 to 1780. The Virginia Gazette was the official newspaper of Virginia. I found several items regarding my 5th. & 6th. Gr. Grandparents, Taylors, Pollards, Pendletons, etc. Even if you do not have ancestors from Colonial Virginia the newspapers make fascinating reading! Enjoy! Pat O'Sullivan Corona
