Clare,Sue and Lori...I have many Brunswick County, Virginia roots as well. I don't know how to be a list owner, but would be most happy to help the one of you that undertakes the job. I am a "rookie" at the ged-com business as well. I have two main families in Brunswick with surnames too. I am a descendants of Peter SIMMONS I of Brunswick Co., Virginia...9 generations down from Peter I. Peter I had at least three children Sarah SIMMONS who m. Thomas HARWELL; Mary SIMMONS who m. William VAUGHAN and Peter SIMMONS II also m. an Elizabeth. I have been doing a lot of "research" on the families that were metriculating about Brunswick at the time of William VAUGHAN. There were of course the HARWELL, JACKSONS, LANIERS, PARHAMS, HARRISONS, ROYALLS, BUTTS, OWENS, STITHS, HICKS, ABERNATHYS, SADLER etc. these are just a few of the the people that were in Brunswick. I am mainly interested in the Three Creeks area or Reedy Branch and Meherrin River area etc. The time frame I am mainly have interest is would be the period from 1700 to the early 1800's. I would be happy to help in any way that I can to help the one that adopts the list. I just joined recently...haven't had a chance to post to the list as yet. Let me know if I can be of assistance - Carol
