    1. Missing Elements in Queries [Roll Calls]
    2. Dear listers, I personally dislike roll calls on the internet and in genealogical publications. Submitters (listers) give us a lot of names, but with no dates. We also must assume that the events in these persons' lives took place in Fauquier Co., which was formed from Prince William Co. A query without dates is useless to anyone who may want to help you!!! Come on, fellow listers, give us some dates. There was supposedly a format suggested by rootsweb for roll calls. I have not seen it cited for quite some time. Roll calls don't do a thing for me--I have too many common names in my dad's lineage. As for my Germanna descendants (First Colony), many of whom are found in early Fauquier Co. records, I prefer to use the Germanna Colonies rootsweb as there is a great deal of history, but mostly for those Second Germanna Colonists who came later ca 1717 and settled in what is now Culpeper Co. But these folks intermarried!!! And many migrated after the Revolution to Kentucky and southward. E.W.Wallace
