This is a GREAT site. I found a lot of my Gregory and Givens ancestors there. I'm even transcribing their grants into Word. Eventually I'll post them so all relatives to see. Another neat thing to try is to draw the land plot out. I can see new relationships based on who had which land plots and who were neighbors. One person had a very narrow strip of land that was just the banks of a river. (Gee, I wonder why he had to have that?) To me, it adds a lot more meaning than they were born, they lived, and they died.
