Re: Lord Fairfax land grant questions: Here is a link to info: http://www.shentel.net/handley-library/FAIRFAX_.htm Northern Neck land grants may be researched on-line at: http://leo.vsla.edu/collections/help/NN.html . Then go to 'Electronic Card Index.' The 'surveys' potentially include much more name-info per postings to this mailing list by Jayne McCarley on Jan. 10 and 11 of 1999 if anyone wishes to search the archives for these (Subject: NNLG and SURVEYS.) Jayne posted helpful pointers from her experiences in researching these records. Neil McDonald
