That makes them inaccessible to people like myself, who had many ancestors coming through that area. The fact that the University has them on microfilm doesn't help me because I can't access that microfilm. While I might be able to travel as far as Christianburg, there is no possibility of traveling to Wisconsin to try to see the records. And yes, I realize there are published documents, but those documents are also in Wisconsin, with not a clue as to what information is in them available for Virginians.
