I'd like to thank Janice for her kind words of support and encouragement. She certainly deserves all of our support and encouragement, as well, as she has contributed far more to Louisa county genealogy than any other person I know, between all the abstracts of wills and deeds she has provided us, for free, and the books she has compiled, plus the work she has done on the chancery suits at the courthouse. If you read Judith's post about the Register of Free Blacks, don't think that just because your family roots are white, that your ancestor would not be in this book. Mine is, as I'm sure many of yours are, too. This is just one of the valuable court records Janice has compiled that can benefit us all. Janice is not the only other author or compiler on our list. I have just finished reading an excellent book that contains names of many of the residents of the area just west of Trevilians, which was called Green Springs at the time. This book is by James K. Brandau and entitled "Murder at Green Springs". The murder victim is one of the folks included in our family graveyard book. It's a good read for a cold winter day. Check it out at: http://www.murderatgreensprings.blogspot.com/ And we can't forget the contribution Nancy Agee has made in abstracting the obituaries from The Central Virginian. I use her list almost daily in conjunction with working on the family graveyards. Happy researching!

Hi Pat, I would like to know more about the Nancy Agee mentioned in your note below as I had a great aunt by the same name? She was from eastern Ohio with ancestors in W. Virginia.
