We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted some information (from a current eBay auction) about a book which may be of interest to those researching poorhouse records for LOUDOUN County. We also found a very generous look-up service which includes look-ups in that book. Since the auction includes some sort of index of names mentioned in the book -- you may want to read about all of this on our website and also check out the eBay auction. It is Item # 1749468317. (We have NOTHING to do with this auction so puleeez do not flame us about spamming regarding the auction. We are just providing the information for historical research help.) On our page we ask for assistance with information about the availability of the book for regular purchase from the publisher/seller. We would really like to put that information up on The POORHOUSE STORY page for Virginia. DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on VIRGINIA on the table of states. If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or RELOAD on the browser to see the new information. There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
