As I read your message, it seems that this person is interested in the Norfolk 'County' Courthouse. Since Norfolk County no longer exists, the Place to write would be the Chesapeake Circuit Court. Some records for Norfolk County may also be in Portsmouth, just depends on where in Norfolk Co. the person lived. Some parts of Norfolk Co. were annexed into Portsmouth. But, on the whole, Norfolk County is now the City of Chesapeake. In this whole phone book I see NO address. But my best guess would be, Chesapeake Circuit Court Probate Dept. Municipal Center Chesapeake, VA 23320 Since there is only one Municipal Center, I think that it would probably be safe to say that the post office knows where it is. The main Complex is located off of 300 Cedar Road in Ches. But there are various streets within the complex. So, you might want to call, first. The phone number for the Chesapeake Circuit Court is 1-757-382-6111 Their FAX number is -1-757-382-8750 If I remember correctly, the cost of a copy of a marriage record, will, etc. is $1.00 or $2.00 per copy. But, it has been awhile since I was there. They were undergoing a good deal of construction and parking was hard to find. Jan

Previous issues of the Exchange can be located at http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/archive.cfm.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for supporting the GenExchange, and for helping us give back to the community that has help us all so much. For two years now Joanne and I have worked hard on the GenExchange but none of it would have been possible if it weren't for you all. Thank you!

Hi; I want to thank everyone for responding to my questions about Norfolk Co... Another researcher asked me that question and whenever people ask me questions I like to double-check the answers with people who are doing more in the research line for Norfolk Co, Thanks, Gracie
Due to the many questions regarding our Sunday announcement I would like to add some additional comments. Many questions can already be answered by reading material posted to our Frequently Asked Questions page at http://www.genexchange.com/faq.cfm, our About the GenExchange page at http://www.genexchange.com/volunteers.cfm, and our How can I help page at http://www.genexchange.com/volunteering.cfm. I would suggest that anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of our project to start there. In addition, several announcements have been posted in the past regarding our plans, and can also be found in past issues of our monthly newsletter located at http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/archive.cfm, and in some online articles written about the GenExchange. There is a list of the most recent posted in the lower left of the main page of the GenExchange at http://www.genexchange.com Briefly, the GenExchange has been in operation for over two years and has grown tremendously since its beginning. We work with some pretty outstanding people who are completely selfless and have nothing in mind but to help the researchers out there. I hold myself to be very lucky to work with such a group as that. We do not view the GenExchange as being in competition with anyone, and I would not characterize what we have been doing for two years as reinventing anything. The GenExchange is all about providing free access to raw genealogical data and nothing more and was the first genealogy web site to provide the type of service that it does, although were beginning to see other sites adopt the same format which is truly outstanding. The GenExchange will continue to do the very best it can for the researcher and will continue with its long planned project to allow dedicated genealogists to adopt existing state GenExchange pages; allow dedicated genealogists to adopt county GenExchange web sites; and to eventually create Country GenExchange sites which will be similarly organized as the USGenExchange. Anyone interested in adopting a New York county should see http://www.genexchange.com/counties.cfm?state=ny As announced on Sunday, Virginia and Iowa will be opened for adoption in April with other states being opened at a rate of one to two per month after that. Regards, Anthony Abby Genealogy Exchange & Surname Registry - http://www.genexchange.com
We're looking for a few good people! As we've discussed in the previous two issues of our monthly newsletter--the Exchange--we're implementing our plan to open county web sites for every county in the United States, and to pass responsibility for those counties to volunteers who want to become project members and who are dedicated to our goal of free access to genealogical data online. We're also looking for volunteers to administer the State GenExchange pages. For more information, please visit our About the GenExchange page. The implementation of this plan has been in the works for some time, and will take some time to fully implement. Consequently we will open individual states up for adoption at a rate of one to two per month. Currently only New York is open for adoption. Virginia and Iowa will be opened for adoption during April. A schedule of state openings will be posted at the GenExchange soon, and will be published in an upcoming edition of our monthly newsletter--the! Exchange.

Va beach has always been an independent city. It was first very small and was where the hotels and the boardwalk are located. In 1960's the County of Princess Anne, which had no city within it's boundary, merged with the City of VaBeach. They had the choice to call it either Princess Anne or Va Beach, but chose Va Beach. The same is true for the City of Norfolk, it is not within a county, and never has been. Jan
What county Is Virginia Beach in? Thanks, Gracie
The GenExchange FAQ page has been updated and can be found at http://www.genexchange.com/faq.cfm. New information regarding our plans to open County GenExchange web sites is answered. In addition our "About the GenExchange" section has been updated with pertinent information regarding the County GenExchange sites and our plans to allow project members to adopt and administer the State GenExchange pages as well as the county GenExchange pages. More information will follow in April's edition of the Exchange, our monthly newsletter. To read previous issues of the Exchange please visit http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/archive.cfm.

I'm looking for any information about the Wilkins family of Norfolk Co.near Ballahack Rd in what is now Chesapeake, VA. My ggg-grandfather was Richard Wilkins born around 1770-1780. His father was Malichi Wilkins died 1790. He was married to Cate. Richard's son was Smith Wilkins born 1801. Any info would be helpful.
I'm hoping these names will be familiar to someone. My great-grandfather was William Collins Davis b. 1869, his father was Gidden Davis both from the Princess Anne County and Norfolk area of Virginia. Also Stonewall Jackson Davis and his son Andrew Jackson Davis both of the Norfolk and Princess Anne County area of Virginia. These four (4) men are connected somehow, we believe that Gidden and Stonewall might be brothers and Andrew and William cousins. William Collins had a sister name Margaret Gidden wife name was Margaret Lambert and Stonewall wife name was ??Ashberry. I would be greatful for any help. Thank you for your time Patti

The GenExchange is back online. After conducting some planned hardware upgrades to our servers today the GenExchange is now back online. We apologize for not making a wider announcement earlier about our maintenance plans. The GenExchange will be down again for a short time Saturday morning between the hours of 4am and 7am, and should be the last time the site is off line for the forseeable future. These software and hardware upgrades are all part of the planned improvements to the GenExchange we have been writing about in our monthly newsletter--the Exchange--which will bring expanded capabilities to the site.
