Can anyone on this list translate a will written in French for me? Truitt Bonney and I are working on Will Book 6 for Norfolk County and page 197 has the will of Antoine Bilisoli written in French. The will is from the 1840s (if that makes a difference) Thanks in advance for any help. I know rootsweb doesn't like attachments, but send me an email address and I can send you a pdf of the page if you can help. I'm looking for a general translation not necessarily a word for word as I know some of the wills are hard to read. We will be glad to give you credit in our book for the translation.

First - how responsive is the Library of Virginia ----- VERY. I've contacted them (via email) a number of times to see if a specific type of record exists and have always received a response within 24 hours. In almost all cases the answer was 100%, but in some cases we emailed back and forth as I was trying to figure out what might exist. In emailing Richmond to determine what existed for Administrator Bonds, I received a list of what was available within the series of Admin Bonds as well as the Executor Bonds. They also told me which were available on microfilm and which were available in original format only and where they were available as some were at the Library of Virginia and some were at their Annex Reading room ...and that was in addition to the ones we had found still at the Chesapeake courthouse. As far as death records are concerned it there are a number of records which denote that a death has occurred. Virginia did not require registration of deaths between 1896 and 1912, but it's also important to note that when death registration was required it was not 100% compliance. The cities collected death records during the dark period of 1896 - 1912. The records for Portsmouth (city) survive starting in 1881, Norfolk (city) starting in 1900 and Richmond (city) starting in 1870. These records are Health Department records and while part of the Norfolk (city) and Richmond (city) ones are on index cards, the Portsmouth ones are not indexed but only appear in the original ledger. These records are at the Library of Virginia Archives Annex and the Lib of VA charges a fee to search those records. Death records as such for Norfolk County (the subject of the message) do not exist for this time period. There are other records which can be used to determine that a death has occurred in addition to the newspapers which Kristina mentioned. Norfolk County has a ledger called "1904 Norfolk County Death Records" at the Chesapeake courthouse. This ledger is not indexed and has not been microfilmed. The record was created with the issuance of burial permits which were mandated by the local Health Department before a body could be moved from one locale to another (such as from the county into the city). This ledger contains records for 1904 through 1910 and were recorded because a funeral home needed to move a body from Norfolk County into the city to be buried in Elmwood for example, or to move a body from Portsmouth for burial on the old farm in Norfolk County. Also in these records are bodies which were shipped out via rail or boat to NC, MD, etc. The records contain the person's name, age, parents, funeral home, burial location etc. Although this ledger is not indexed, Truitt Bonney and I have abstracted these records in "Norfolk County Virginia Death Records 1904-1910 compiled from Death Register and Extant Burial Permits." This book is available from the Family Research Society of NE NC http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ncfrsnnc/ and should also be available in your local library. Other sources of deaths would be Administrator Bonds which were created when an intestate person died or when a person with a will failed to name an executor who would serve. Again, for Norfolk County Truitt Bonney and I have abstracted these records in "Norfolk County Virginia (extant) Administrator Bonds 1711-1850" available from the same source. ---- Not all Admin Bonds survived! Another source would be the Minute Books for Norfolk County found at the Chesapeake courthouse and also on microfilm from the Library of Virginia through their inter-library loan program. You'll find instances in there where the sureties were named for the Admin Bonds and instances such as Bartlett Curling requesting permission to purchase a coffin for Portlock Curling with the money of the deceased. Portlock did not leave a will, there was no inventory of his estate and there was no Admin Bond created for his estate although you can tell when he died because of the entry in the Minute Book ---- he had to have died (or been found) the day or two previous to the court date. Several years later Bartlett Curling and his assorted relatives signed a deed selling some of Portlock's land. Another source for a land owner would be the land tax records. Although this would only get the date down to a one year time period, that's better than nothing. A person would be listed as taxable in one year and his estate taxable in the following year if he had died. Again, land tax records are available at the Library of Virginia on microfilm. So, yes there are death records for the 1896-1912 time period, but don't expect them to be easy to find. Look at non-traditional sources.

According to the handybook for genealogist, the archives division of the Virginia State library has copies of all existing Virginia birth and death records prior to 1896. but makes no mention of what records are available AFTER 1896. Has anyone ever found a death record for people in Virginia between 1896-1912? When you wrote to Richmond what kind of response did you get? When you wrote to Richmond how many times were you successful on the first try or 2nd try? When you wrote to Richmond how long did it take to get a response?

Maybe this would be of some help -- perhaps it is applicable to both birth & death records. In 2001 while searching for my father's birth record (b. 1907) from Virginia Department of Health, Richmond, VA, I received the following acknowledgement: There was no law for the registration of births from 1896 through June 14, 1912.

Good Evening Everyone, I was honored to be invited as guest speaker at the Norfolk County Historical Society Today and while I was there we got into a discussion about dealing with Richmond and the availability of vital records, specifically death records. I would like to put some of your experiences on a special page of the Norfolk County web site. I learned some things I didn't know. I have never had to deal with Richmond personally as all of my relatives are from another state. _www.vitalrec.com/va.html_ (http://www.vitalrec.com/va.html) According to the handybook for genealogist, the archives division of the Virginia State library has copies of all existing Virginia birth and death records prior to 1896. but makes no mention of what records are available AFTER 1896. Has anyone ever found a death record for people in Virginia between 1896-1912? I guess maybe I will start looking for obits during this time period. When you wrote to Richmond what kind of response did you get? When you wrote to Richmond how many times were you successful on the first try or 2nd try? When you wrote to Richmond how long did it take to get a response?

Has your grand daughter checked the chancery court records in the archives? It is amazing how much family lineage you can find in those old court cases. If she has not explored that resource, suggest it to her. She will find it fun.

Raymond, I believe I am a descendant of Thomas Willoughby (of the Southern Branch), through his son William, but lack documentation. From William to, Benjamin Franklin, to Elijah, to Benjamin Jefferson to Benjamin Franklin to Frank Ellis Willoughby (my grandfather). I have used wills and books to construct families, but may not have them correct. Do you, or other listers, know of anyone who has documented this line and is willing to share info? My grandaughter is 16, lives in Chesapeake VA, and has gone to the library and copied some of this info for me and our family tree. Financially, I don't think I can make the reunion with my granddau.

In a message dated 11/5/2009 4:15:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, willoughby400@att.net writes: Dear Kristina, My wife and her extended family are descendants of Ensign Thomas Willoughby who came to Virginia in 1610. We are planning a 400th-Anniversary Reunion in Norfolk on the 21st-23rd of May 2010. Thomas Willoughby's plantation, where five generations of his family lived, was in what is now the city of Norfolk. We can get the word out to our branch of the family but we know that there are many other Willoughby descendants around. An early Willoughby daughter married Isaac Allerton whose parents were on the Mayflower and they have numerous descendants including President Zachary Taylor. The Mayflower organization, I suppose, can help me get word out to them. No descendants in the male line survive for Thomas Willoughby, but there are many, many descendants in the female line. We know because my wife's great-uncle was married to one of them, and we would like to get in touch with these descendants too. We wonder if you can help us? Who better than you, a noted Norfolk genealogist and historian who registers Norfolk families, could tell us if there are any female-line descendants still in the Norfolk area? Also could you possible help us find a place to put up a notice --on the web-- about our reunion? Would your website be a possible place? I hope I'm not imposing. I can be reached at willoughby400@att.net Best, Raymond Gill

Since I am sure there are many who are new to genealogy, one of the things that I found very helpful when trying to venture into that field, (although I don't know whether it is still available), was _http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide) . Last time I used it there were 30 chapters that covered "how to" for about any subject one would need to search in genealogy. Just food for thought!

Hi these lists are SO QUIET, you can hear a pin drop............LOL..... ok, I'm in the process of adding Norfolk Virginian or as I like to call it VIRGINIAN PILOT obits and marriage notices from 1865 to? well I'm just starting with 1869. Plus adding other marriage and death info as I get it. If anyone wants to post some of their stuff on the Norfolk site, let me know. I have been asked by the Norfolk County Historical Society to be guest speaker. LOL I'm the last person I'd want to listen to speak.................. but anyway, it's on a topic that I don't think I can screw up. it's on HOW to ask for research assistance or look ups. Well at least I hope I don't screw up by accidentally insulting someone, etc. I have a tendency to be blunt, and need to learn "tactfulness". I have gotten some weird requests over the years. You would not believe how many people write and ask about a relative, (I would like more info about grandpa Joe) like I'm supposed to know your relative? And then 99% of the people get insulted when I write back, I don't know your grandpa Joe. I know most of you are really good with asking for lookups, but for those who don't I have actually had to put instructions on almost every page of all the web sites. So instead of getting an email like: tell me about George Smith i get an email with ON your website nyvagenealogy.homestead.com on the Virginia death page 1730 I found George Smith march 9th 1730 for Norfolk county, please let me know if additional details are available. or I would like the obit for George smith. I could get an email stating on your web site nyvagenealogy.homestead.com on the new York herald obits page 1891, for march 1st, Please let me know if more information on George Smith is available. or I'd like a copy of the will for George smith, I would like to get, on your roots web Norfolk web site wills page 1635-1710, I found George Smith or when asking for research assistance, I'd get I'd like more info about George smith. I'd like My ancestor George Smith was in the 1830 census for princess anne county VA and I'm looking to find a marriage record between 1820-1830 for him and wife? I deal with 2 different states and about 40 counties in Virginia so it helps to have that extra bit of info to assist people with their requests. HOWEVER, there are those people who give TOO MUCH info, and send emails that are books. which in today's world is NOT A GOOD idea. For example If you are asking about George Smith, then give info around him, a generation after and before, but that's about it. Including State,Years, County if known, etc but Not 20 generations spanning over 200 years. And be specific I would like to find out Where/when George Smith in Virginia he died, He was on the 1820 census in princess anne county but not the 1830. NOT i'd like more info on George Smith. or I'd like to find out when George Smith married Jane Doe, then knowing the approx date of the first born would help in this search, or several of the kids date of birth and place of birth. but not 10 generations down the tree. that's just unnecessary. yep, i could actually do good with this topic, what do ya'll think?
