Would someone be willing to do a couple of look-ups in Ancestry concerning the Norfolk City directories, early 20th century ? Thank you, William f.wiatt@yahoo.com

just wanted to let everyone know that you can "like" new york virginia genealogy on facebook..........   i post interesting articles from the norfolk virginian newspaper that I am indexing and answer genealogy questions    my first three books are on the shelves at local libraries.....   and in a few months the 4th book (which i hope to finish in 2 weeks or less) and soon thereafter the 5th,6,& 7th....   yeah.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   my books are the compiled city of norfolk virginia marriage records! 1850-1899   just posted to facebook about a german ship that went down in 1887...   kristina

Having finished the typing indexes for 1880's & 1890's last week, after the major set back of my usb drive eating my marriage book (thank god for the intelligence to have a back up copy- that only need 5 years retyped) and wanting to take a break and work on my own family, (before conquering the newspapers and having to retype the earlier indexes) its occurred to me how valuable genealogy wise, my norfolk virginian and and at a later date the public ledger newspaper indexes are going to be. While I am the first one to tell you that sometimes newspapers are going to be priceless, in giving you that little extra piece of info, that solves the mysteries. trying to find that piece of gold can be extremely fustrating and time consuming. and possibly costly. trying to find if there was a newspaper during that time period in their city/town etc. then trying to find the names of the paper, see where it's avail and how much a look up will cost. or if it's avail online and if you don't know the date, or have to search a large period of time, it could take you a life time. and search engines, i'm telling you are NOT that helpful.... or that accurate............ LOL..... well in a month or two or three depending on my speed.... 1865-1890 index for the norfolk virginian should be ready to go and i'm almost finished with 1890's so maybe by the fall the whole thing 1865+1898 will be ready for publishing along with the marriage books. now remember these indexes (2) one for obits and one for marriages (2) is going to be mostly local & paid. aka if the king of england died, it's not in my index, if the president died it's not in my index.......... kristina

If you are researching the African-American Gray family from the Western Branch and Deep Creek areas of Norfolk County, as well as Norfolk City, please let me know. Other surnames include: WilliamsSwiftGoodmanWilliamsGodwinBrownAlstonOutlawHeath Robin

JUST WANTED to give a quick MERRY CHRISTMAS to all................... and hope santa was good to everyone... and hope everyone keeps those in sandy hook in their prayers today, as it's going to be a very difficult day... for them...........and others who have lost love ones this year. hope to have City of Norfolk Marriages books 4 and 5 published by June 2013 along with marriage and death index's to the Norfolk Virginian and the Public Ledger. and for those of you who are doing research in PAC remember that the library is in the procesing of putting a tremendous amount of genealogy info online free on their website and that Norfolk has done the same, with cemetery and city directories Kristina http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vaprinc2/ http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vanorfol/ www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com

The Size of this picture is the size of a post card from the early forty or fifty or earlier. The boy looks to be around 18 months to 2 years. this picture was found in my step-grandmother things along with pictures with no name. My grandmother was a Lamb and her parents were from Edenton (spell ?) North Carolina, if this help any. This is all I know about this little boy. If anyone want this picture, please contact me off list and I will be happy to send it to you. Patti

Tom - I think Higgins stayed in Norfolk and didn't venture out to the country even witness a will :-) I checked all the Norfolk county wills to see if he was mentioned or served as a witness and there were no Higgins at all, so your answer might exist on the Norfolk city board instead of the Norfolk County board. I did find his marriage in the Norfolk City abstracts to the dau of Jeremiah Andrews in 1806 and his son's marriage later ....all in the city. I found where Eugene witnessed the will of Samuel McCurdy which was confusing. Seems it was proved twice (all in Norfolk city). The first time the abstract said there were no witnesses to the will (written 30 Sep 1803) but Eugene Higgins made oath as to the will in court 28 May 1804. Then the next entry states that it was proved in 1806 and Eugene was a witness to the 1803 will - so you'd have to check the original to know for sure (if you are interested in placing him in Norfolk (Boro) in 1803). I also found a Samuel Higgins who witnessed the will of Michael Mann on 3 Sep 1804 which might be of interest. Norfolk was incorporated as a town in 1736 and a city in 1845, but appears to have had its own Hustings Court much earlier as court records start in 1760s with wills starting in Corporation Court in 1784.

Kristina asked me to send a message to the list because she's having problems getting the emails...so here it is. Folks - remember the email from Graham Louer the other day (Sunday)? Well he and I have been communicating quite a bit since then on the Grimes family. He's interested in the different Grimes lines in the 1600s if you can help him. It's hard to find Norfolk County material in TX :-) Sharon Gable, CG CG and Certified Genealogist are Service Marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists used under license after periodic evaluations by the Board.

Yes. Norfolk County was formed from Lower Norfolk County, so the mailing list includes both. There aren't as many questions concerning Lower Norfolk County....but we like questions :-) The same host (Kristina) also does Princess Anne which was also part of Lower Norfolk County since Lower Norfolk split into Norfolk County and Princess Anne County. In 1691.
