Linda, I think the map looks great... two suggestions: Is it possible to do the counties in different colors to make the border stand out better? Also, it may be easier to read the names if they were at the bottom of the map with a number or letter code to connect them to the correct spot? Just a thought...

Ooohhh, I'm jealous. ... I found Eliz. City linked to P.Anne's location, Smyth Co in Southampton's, and nothing in Norfolk's location. Newport News' page is linked to Warwick Co's location, which is politically correct, but perhaps not genealogically ... 8^) Freddie S. > Well...

I have received 2 large census files for Patrick County. I'm stumped as to how to add it to my page. If anyone would be able to help me with pointers i'd appreciate it. 1910 and 1880 Census for Patrick County Va . One of my friends was kind enough to send me a typed record of this information and i want to get it posted. Rena

December 1, 1999 I don't recognize the surname from my counties. If someone has access to the 1900 Soundex for Virginia, it might be possible to locate the Tester family and find out in which county they were living. From the birth dates, it looks like George and Alice Tester were the parents.

Some of you may have gotten questions about counties in KY with the same name as VA counties. I've now linked those counties on the state page to a page that describes the sequence of those county's formation and the re-use of their names for later VA counties. Six of the nine VA counties which went to make up the fledgling state of KY, had the names re-used. four of the six "new" counties wound up in WV. A seventh KY county (Lincoln) had the name re-used in WV, but I'd guess the namesake was a different person. ... 8^) http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/kentucky.htm There've been a number of questions in the past about VA's western lands, so I posted excerpts from two books that describe the ceding of these lands to Congress, and the formation of the various "Territories" and the eventual rise to statehood (IN, IL, MI, OH, WI). http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/illinois.htm Regards, Freddie S.
