Small world. Anyway, Nansemond County, Surry County and Southampton County all doutch Isle of Wight County. Smithfield is the largest town in the country. Isle of Wight has very old records, they were not destroyed during the war. I believe the court houses in Surry and Nansemond have burned at some time in history. Wish I could be of more help but I do think people are working on it. My husband has his DNA done but unless you can find the male line, yours would not any help if I understand correctly. BSS
