I found this on another list I belong to. Can anyone help this lady out? -- Cara Showers Anchorage, Alaska cara@dcdesign.com ---------- From: TrinkyLou@aol.com Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:25:16 EDT To: THOMAS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [THOMAS] William H. Thomas Resent-From: THOMAS-L@rootsweb.com Resent-Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 15:25:22 -0700 I have discovered that my GGGGrandfather William H. Thomas was born in Nansemond County, VA. This county is now extinct and part of another city and is not considered in a county. Does anyone have any idea how you check the records like that? His wife's Civil War papers, that she filed to get his pension said he was born in that county about 1820. I think the county was just southeast of Isle of Wight and west of Norfolk. Any help would be appreciated. Kathy ==== THOMAS Mailing List ==== Your contributions to RootsWeb helps make THOMAS-L possible. RootsWeb Gen. Data Coop.
