I wonder if any one on the list can give me the name of a good book listing historic families of Virginia. I could use a book of the history of Virginia as well. I have a lot of family that started out in Virginia in the early 1600's; some of them went on to Kentucky and the Carolina's. Any suggestion would help a lot, I'm just getting started and Virginia is the best place I can think of. My Surnames are: BUFORD, McDOWELL, EARLY, KIRTLEY and REID to name but a few. Thanks much, Fern
