One is the Jones Genealogical Collection in Lynchburg, Va. which is attached to the main public library there, but operates on a different schedule: 1-9 Tuesdays; 1-9 W-F; 9-1 on Saturdays. Another is the Va-NC Genealogical Society collection housed in the Danville Public Library; I would suggest calling in advance as they operate with volunteers and the schedule changes: 1-804-799-5195. Hope this gives some help. John Fox Winston-Salem, NC
