    3. I've never heard from Robert Moore, even though I thought I had a good email address for him. His pages are sadly out of date. I'm going to have to look for a replacement host ... 8^( Regards, Freddie S.

    1. [VAGEN-L] AOL tip for opening files

    3. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Just in case anyone has had problems opening those VA files sent by Linda Lewis, here's a note she sent this morning. It was written in response to someone using AOL who couldn't open the files. Peg >AOL has a quirky thing that frustrates their users when trying to view >any ftp directory. Here are the instructions we have posted for them: > >If you are visiting this site from AOL, you might need to follow these >steps in order to view the FTP files. >1. Enter keyword FTP >2.

    3. AOL has a quirky thing that frustrates their users when trying to view any ftp directory. Here are the instructions we have posted for them: If you are visiting this site from AOL, you might need to follow these steps in order to view the FTP files. 1. Enter keyword FTP 2. Click on "Go to FTP" 3. Click on "Other site" 4. Enter the address of the archives and Do NOT check the box "Ask for login and password." 5. Click on "Connect" AOL makes it look like they need a password to access the files.

    1. [VAGEN-L] Breaking Frames
    2. Linda Lewis

    3. I've gotten requests on how to break out of a frame from other pages. If you've ever noticed your webpage being linked by another site which catches it in their frame script, making it look like it's part of their site/page/project, cut and paste this onto your htm: <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Hide script from old browsers if (top.location !=self.location) { top.location = self.location } // End hiding script from old browsers --> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> Be sure to paste it directly under the <HTML> tag. Commercial sites are famous for locking pages into their frames. Linda

    3. A remarkable work by Steve Knoblock. Having been accustomed to referring to Gertrude E. Gray's abstracts of "Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants" I was looking forward to Steve's searches. However, when I searched for the names shown on page 1 of Gray's abstracts of 1694-1742 patents not a single one was found in Steve's database. Upon checking the background pages at Steve's site I found that the base work on which Steve has drawn was selective : "Beginning at a white Oak. Patents and Northern Neck Grants of Fairfax County, Virginia. by Beth Mitchell is a comprehensive survey of land grants and patents made in the Northern Neck of Virginia in what are now Fairfax and Arlington counties." It appears that Dick Eastman somehow translated Steve's selective work to be a work covering all of the Northern Neck Land Grants. So, if your Northern Neck ancestor is not found in Steve's database it means only that your ancestor did not receive a grant for land that is now in either Fairfax or Arlington Counties.

    3. If you have kin in Virginia's Northern Neck, check here. This item came from Dick Eastman's current column. Carmen Finley - --------------------------------------- - Virginia Grants Online Database Steve Knoblock has obviously been toiling on a labor of love. He has created an online database listing land grant records as originally abstracted in Northern Neck Grant Books. The database is available free of charge on the Web. The original hand-written Northern Neck Grant Books fill 37 volumes. These records were abstracted some years ago and published by the Fairfax County government in a single volume called "Beginning at a white Oak. Patents and Northern Neck Grants of Fairfax County, Virginia." The book is now out of print, and there are no plans to republish it. Steve Knoblock has been manually entering each abstract into a spreadsheet on his computer; the index fields from this spreadsheet are now available on Steve's Web site. The database is searchable by name, surname, grant date, grant book and issuer. I decided to try this for myself. I first searched for my own surname but didn't find any listings. I guess the family never made it to that part of Virginia. I then tried some more common surnames and found lots of results. Here is one such listing: Clark, Richard, . 94 11 Sep 1779 I:366, {Proprietary} With this information I can look at the original grant books, either in person or on a rented microfilm copy. I should be able to quickly find the full record as recorded by the clerks in 1779. The data usually found in the books would include the name, surname, tract size, date of grant, grant book, grant issuer and the surveyor's description. The home site for the search is at: http://whiteoak.home.att.net/index.html. Grant Books and the search are available at: http://whiteoak.home.att.net/landgrant/nn_grant_books.html while direct access to the database is at: http://www.city-gallery.com/whiteoak/landgrant.cgi

    3. Thank you. I appreciate the information. I've only been a Virginia county coordinator for a few months and must have missed the discussion for Virginia migrations.

    3. There is a migrations page for the VAGenWeb site and Linda Lewis is the person who maintains it. I just had the links for Hanover and King William counties added to it. Also the new guestbook that RootsWeb has added, work great for managing the migration information on a county site. It allows the visitor to add the information on line and automates the process. Some of the Virginia county sites are using the guestbook on the migration page, this beats using mailmerge or using email and then manually updating a migration page.

    1. [VAGEN-L] Migrations page for Virginia

    3. The Pennsylvania USGenWeb has started a migrations page to document the movement of families in and out of counties. It works like a surname list. Their url is http://www.usgennet.org/~migrpaus/ if you would like to visit it. I was wondering if we can start a page like that for Virginia? Wayne Greene Loudoun County Coordinator
