I am planning a research trip to find information on families that lived in Montgomery, Franklin are surrounding counties before 1804. After 1804, they moved from VA. I have never been to the particular counties or to Richmond, VA for research for my ancestors that lived in those counties. I have been doing most of my research regarding those counties on the web. It's time to hit the road, I think. I will have about 4 weekdays to do research. Does anyone have an opinion on what locations to do first. The counties in question, or Richmond. Would the counties have more or different information than Richmond, or vice versa. Does anyone have an opinion? Thanks Linda (researching the Thompson and Doerty families)
