Thanks a bunch! One genealogist-lecturer said recently in a lecture, If you see something on the internet, print it out. It may not be there the next time! Wow--I thought--all that beautiful work by Janice L. Abercrombie has bit the dust! Thanks to you and another correspondent, I have rediscovered this. My Louisa Co. folks were found later in Albemarle Co., but the father died before the Revolution in Louisa Co., where he had been surveyor for a time. Thanks for your interest! I have already sent this URL to other rootsweb lists to which I subscribe. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hello, After a brief panic attack at the thought of my making another "enhancement" that didn't quite work, I think I can help you out. The main index page (by persons name) can be found at: http://www.trevilians.com/deeds/deedmain.htm If you click on one of the links on that page you will be taken to another index with every name (in that particular range). Then if you click on a link there you will be taken to a page that is ordered by Book then Page (i.e. http://www.trevilians.com/deeds/deed5.htm takes you to Deed Book A). You can click on the links at the bottom of the page to scroll through each book. For the adventuresome, yes, I know there are pages named "deed1.htm thru deed4.htm", but I don't have a clue what I was doing there! Possibly misc. deeds where I didn't know the book -- I'll add it to my list to investigate. Good Luck!

I think what you are looking for is at the URL below. At least I found a lot of stuff there just yesterday. Ruby Talley Smith _http://trevilians.com/_ (http://trevilians.com/) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Not long ago, I was delighted to find on trevilians.com [or some such URL] some abstracted Louisa Co. deeds done by Janice Abercrombie along with the index, prepared by someone else [thank you]. However, I can no longer find any abstracts earlier than Deed Bk J, which is much too late for some of my folks. Please provide us reseachers with the proper URL, which we hope has not been swallowed up by some commercial firm!!! Thanks a bunch.

Those persons who have access to some large genealogical libraries, or perhaps a well-stocked [meaning to me, with genealogical books] State Library should look for these volumes, which are excellent people-finders for Virginians and Kentuckians who might be alive and adult in 1787. The name of the three volumes and the authors: Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florine S. Love, The 1787 Census of Virginia (three volumes) The third volume is an index to the two preceding volumes. These are personal property tax lists for nearly every household in Virginia and in Kentucky. (This is NOT a real census, but for people-finding it beats most of the transcribed 1790 censuses I have seen for other states.) This is how I use these volumes. First, I go to the third volume. I look for my surnames, including misspellings, and then I photocopy those pages of the index, which may be many pages. (And do I have common names in my Dad's lineage.) Then, I find a quiet place to work. I take a full size piece of clean notebook paper--or any 81/2 x 11 sheet, I arrange in numerical order the pages I want to photocopy, perhaps including the first page for that particular county--as these tax lists are arranged by county name. Some counties may have three or four lists--don't overlook that! Oh, yes, don't forget to photocopy the key to what those numbers mean in each column. This is the frontiespiece of at least the first volume, and I think it may be in all three volumes--but check. (Without that key, you will not know what those numbers mean.) Why arrange these page numbers given in the index in numerical order? Because when I go to the photocopy machine with a card with a LOT of credit on it, I can go through the volumes in an orderly manner and not hold up the line behind me with flip-flopping back and forth [sign of a newbie!]. If a line is forming behind you, photocopy only about ten pages and step to the back of the line. This is the proper etiquette at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and should be applicable to any other library. (Don't forget your card when you step aside.) Why should you photocopy the index pages for ALL your surnames and the misspellings? Well--you may discover as I did that my Albemarle Co. ancestor had personal property in that county--as well as in Madison Co., KY, where he later moved--with a lot of his children and sons-in-law!!! The names in the subject above are certainly less common, especially Sandidge, than are my surnames! Happy hunting, and keep a lookout for the above named books by Schreiner-Yantis and Love. Ask your librarian to help you find a library near you which has these three volumes, and give yourself plenty of time to research. Sometimes the authors have published booklets for individual counties, but if you use the booklets alone, you miss the fact that the family may be migrating!!! As I did. Admittedly, some of the county books have details which are NOT in the three hardback volumes. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

If anyone on the list is interested in knowing more about Louisa Co., VA in its early days, before the American Revolution, I highly recommend you examine the website of Rosalie Edith Davis. If you are interested, I also recommend that you buy as many of these booklets as you can, as they have been in print for some decades, and the offer may not stand as it would be for a publishing house. Louisa is important because it was formed from Hanover Co., VA, a burned county. Furthermore, a good many Louisa Co. residents can be found later in other counties formed from Louisa, such as Albemarle Co. Mrs. Davis has some wonderful maps--with the watercourses. For her Fredericksville Parish book, she has a map of the parish. Here is her website: I checked it a few days ago, and it was still in operation.

I want to thank you both and all those who had a part in preparing this 'picture' book and all the information in it. You have done a wonderful job.
