I'm sure the Library of Congress collection of maps online has been mentioned before, but I think the catalog has grown since the last time I looked. 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).
