I have not seen it mentioned in the recent exchange. Some of you may not be aware that microfilm is available thru Interlibrary Loan from the Library of VA. It is a free 28 day loan and you can get as many as 5 reels at one time even for out-of-staters. It covers wills, order books, guardian accounts, deeds, and marriage records. At least it does for Mecklenburg Co., the only one I have ordered microfilm for. It appears to be old microfilm, some have dates back in the 1950s, but I never complained! :-)) Copy the info from the following link and take it to your local librarian. You may have to back up a page or two to find the address. It takes 3 - 4 weeks to get it. There was some small insurance fee that my library paid. A friend was charged a small fee at her library. http://www.lva.lib.va.us/collect/localrecs/locrecs-listing.htm I also found there a very good explanation of the Personal Property Tax lists and the Land Tax lists. These reels were not available, however. Ron
