    1. Re: [VAFAUQUI] Early Fauquier Maps Online
    2. This is a great site! There are religious petitions signed by lots of Fauquier men including a number in my family and I've printed them out. I can't, however, get the bottom couple of inches to print. The document seems too long for 8 1/2x11 and it doesn't continue to print on the next page. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

I have a stiff neck this morning from looking at the 1860s map that shows the names of many Fauquier landowners -- at about a 45 degree angle when viewing online. The URL for the "American Memory Collection" is http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/mdbquery.html Then search for the words "Fauquier map" -- and whatever other topics that interest you. After years of getting by with dial-up Internet connections, I signed up for broadband through my cable company several months ago. The difference is night and day, especially when downloading images like these maps (which have zoom viewing). The expense is about the same as my monthly telephone bill, so I gave that up -- replacing the land line with a cell phone, which pays for itself with the free long distance minutes. Anyway, if you don't have a high-speed Internet connection, make friends with someone who does (or find a library that offers it).
