Although the Fauquier Heritage Society is somewhat obscure, it really is a "must see" if anyone comes to this area. In addition to various historical materials, it also has the complete notes of several genealogists, including Trip Russell. I believe Trip knew or was related to almost everyone in the county, and his research notes are voluminous. I walked away with a three-inch binder of photocopied material on one of my obscure families. The only thing better than getting a look at his notes would be getting a look at John Gott's notes!
