Virginia, I suggest you stay in Harrisonburg and plan "day trips" to surrounding counties. H'burg has a court house and library and historical society where you will find records. Here is a link for what is available in H'burg: -- <A HREF="http://home.rica.net/tel16/rham/">Rockingham Co. VAGenWeb</A> http://home.rica.net/tel16/rham/ And in Augusta County: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/augusta2.html">Augusta County, Virginia, Resources</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/augusta2.html Good luck in finding the Longs and Reubushes. Have you considered Page County for the Longs? --Wendy
