Many of you know of the extensive work Katherine Bushman did during the period 1961-1997 researching families in the Shenandoah Valley and especially in Augusta County. Her papers, some 43.325 cu. ft., have been put in the hands of the Library of Virginia. You can view their listing of her work at: http://eagle.vsla.edu/cgi-bin/bible.gateway?authority=0087-68980 I am not sure exactly how one goes about requesting something from the library, but if someone finds out before I do, please let me know. I have added this link to local resources, both under Augusta County families and under Archives/Manuscripts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carmen J.
