A link to the Library of Virginia.  You can find quite a few records on line, have to prowl around in their database and figure it out.  They do have some Bible records on line.  and you can order materials from them, I found it expensive to do so, but $40 for a few pages of really important info is probably less expensive they a roadtrip to VA and hotels/meals there. http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/ ----- Original Message ---- From: R D F <red_dragon_farm@yahoo.com> To: valee@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 12:02:58 AM Subject: Re: [VALEE] VALEE Digest, Vol 3, Issue 70 Hi Nola - That is great that you will be going to get to do a research trip. Good luck!  I hope you find everything you hope to :)  When you get a chance, I'd like to see anything you have on the Thompson & Thorpe lines. We are pulling census records and whatever we can find on Ancestry, but haven't been able to get to VA to search archives.  What we need most is documentation like marriage records, court docs, land records, newspaper articles, obits, Bible records and so.
