I located the following from a copy I have: Handy Book for Genealogists edited by George B. Everton Sr., Vital Record Sources. c. 1971 by Everton Publishers, Inc. "Until 1786 the Episcopal Church was the state church of Virginia. All Children, regardless of religious afflication, were required to be baptized by the ministers of that church. Dates of their baptism, together with their parents were recorded in the parish registers. The same information was taken of all marriages and burials. All of these church records are preserved, some are in printed. They are available in the Virginia State Library in Richmond." Does anyone have knowledge of any names of those books in print? Thanks Patti
