A lot of you know how much I use old newspaper as a source for information. If you had ancestors from Virginia you may want to check this site. The following site is an index which can be searched by surname. It also can be narrowed down by date. The years covered start in the 1785 and goes into 2000. Once you find an article you are interested in you can order copies by email or phone. The fees are very reasonable, fifty cents a page and $2.50 shipping and handling. Order up to 10 articles at a time Library Historical Newspaper Index - FCPL _http://www.co.fairfax.va.us/library/newsindex/default.asp_ (http://www.co.fairfax.va.us/library/newsindex/default.asp) Hope this will be of help.
