A more complete way than I knew. See below. Betty Pace --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: Janmim@aol.com To: bapace2@juno.com Subject: Re: Imp. Addendum reUniv. of VA digital Library site Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 09:12:59 EST Hello Everyone, I have an important addendum to Betty's post that I don't think she pointed out. Once you get to an index card that interests you, you can download (retrieve document link above the card) a handwritten 'copy' of the original deed, with all the specific geographical information, neighbors, etc. The owner of course got the original. As someone recently said on Va-Southside....This is "as good as it gets" from the comfort of your home. Be forewarned though, it is VERY timeconsuming, and the images take up alot of computer space, so I've done several on floppies.

They seem to be in alphabetical order by first name after you search for your surname. If you know that you have very early ancestors in VA , you might try the same technique for your people.. There is also information on ships and passenger lists (plus crew) for some of the early ships to VA under Colonial Records. >> ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
