This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --part0_920605060_boundary Content-ID: <[email protected]_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII FYI, there is a fairly large cemetery just west of Woodstock, Shenandoah Co., VA. which contains a large number of the Hottel family. If you are not familiar with the area, Woodstock is located on I-81 which runs north and south thru the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of VA. It is south of Winchester and north of Harrisonburg. I can't tell you the exact road where it is located, but if your interested I do know someone who lives near the cemetery. I will get you the exact location.

Hello List I wondered if anyone had a copy of Shenandoah Valley Pioneer Settlers by G B Hammond Publishing I wanted to find out if it would be worthwhile my purchasing. The names I am interested in in that area are SAGER HOTTEL HAMMAN Can someone provide some feed back on this book? Linda Phoenix Az [email protected]

Virginia's research experience in Virginia echoes mine. I would add the public library in Staunton to the list of good resources. The beautiful name "Shenandoah" is a perfect fit for that valley and its people. Just in case a small few of you might have noticed I have not participated during the last four or five months, I guess I am back. Louie -----Original Message----- From: Virginia Hutson [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 1999 2:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Suggestions for research in Virginia. Everyone, First, let me thank everyone who so willingly helped me get information in order for my research trip to Virginia. I was able to get a great deal of information without wasting any time looking for places, or wondering what was there. I firmly believe that genealogists are some of the most helpful, giving people in the world. RANKING OF RESEARCH SITES I'm certainly not the world's greatest researcher, but here are the sites I found to be the best for my research. 1. The Library of Virginia in Richmond has to rank #1. How I wish I lived within driving distance of that library. Not only is there a great deal of information, but the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. (Incidently, it has a nice snack area with good food.) 2. The Augusta County Courthouse was fantastic. It runs a close second to the LVA. The materials are accessible; the staff is friendly and most helpful. I was able to find family documents that I never dreamed of finding. I wish I had had more time there. 3. The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society in Harrisonburg is #3 with me. It is not really a big research center, but they have a great deal of genealogical information which is easily accessible. A researcher is pretty much on his or her own there, but he or she has access to everything they have. 4. Bridgewater College genealogical holdings are good. In addition, the archivist, is extremely helpful. There is a separate room there completely full of material on the Brethren. The staff was very kind and helpful, also. Obviously, there were many sites I did not have time to visit, but the above were quite good. RANKING ACCOMMODATIONS 1. We stayed in Harrisonburg, as many of you had suggested. We stayed at the Days Inn. I can recommend it to anyone. The location was perfect, right on the interstate; the rooms were very nice; the place was immaculate; the staff was helpful and friendly, and the price was good. My husband and I got a "September Days" discount card from Days Inn headquarters for senior citizens several months ago. Consequently, we got a good discount on our room, and we went in the "off season," so the prices were lower. If and when I go back to that area, I will certainly stay in the Days Inn there. 2. We ate many of our meals in the Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Man, their food is good. Not only that, but I was able to buy the grandchildren gifts from their "porch." The items are often unique and as inexpensive as a person could hope to find. One last comment on Virginians and people in the Shenandoah Valley.. I always thought Texans were the most friendly people in the United States, and Texans have a reputation for friendliness, but I can tell you that never in my travels anywhere have I found more friendly, helpful people than I did in Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. I am most proud to say that my ancestors came from that region. Virginia Long Hutson in Lufkin, Texas ==== SHENANDOAH Mailing List ==== Your support of RootsWeb helps make SHENANDOAH-L possible.

Who can do a look up for me in the 1760 Frederick County Rent Roll for my surname Maggard (Maggert, Maggart, Maggott etc)? Thanks for your time and help. Ken Maggard

Virginia, thanks so much for sharing and for your lovely comments about Virginians - I've lived in this wonderful state all my life - 68 years, and the friendliness of the people still amazes me.

Dear listers, I am annotating the 1860 Bath census with maiden names, and some have proved elusive. Does anybody know the maiden names (with sources, please) of the following women found in the 1860 Bath county census? I have checked Bath and Pocahontas county marriage records, Highland marriages 1847-1853, the post-1850 Rockbridge marriage book online, and am in the process of checking marriages in surrounding counties, but thought I'd check with fellow researchers also, since it seems like one of you must have these people in your files! (I've also checked Morton's History of Highland co. online for leads.) These are all names I have *not* sent to these lists before. The dates mean "married in or before this year", based on the age of their eldest child in the census.
