Also Northern Neck of VA, Southside.....all terms I have had to have explained to me. Being stationed in Norfolk in the Navy, I understood about the Tidewater area, etc. These terms are used over and over again when you are researching your VA family before and just after the Rev War. Thank you so much for passing this site on, as I am sure many of us will find something we did not know before seeing the site. Mary Turney Miller [email protected]
