Happ= y Holidays! Shirley: bobert@panacom.com Posted on a newsgroup: ******* There was an interesting story in today's Washington Post written by Sylvi= a Moreno, Washington Post Staff Writer, entitled, "Historic Land Records Deeded to Fairfax, Documents Found in Alexandria Include Transactions Dating to 17th Century". The article is too long to type out, but here are the highlights: An Alexandria lawyer has donated thousands of old Fairfax County land records to the county government, which will make them available to the public. The 23,000 files were moved this week from the law office of Bernard Corbett to the Fairfax County courthouse. The collection includes about 20,000 files on individual properties and 3,000 files on subdivisions. These files will be catalogued by the Fairfax County court clerk's office, and those of historical significance will be set aside in a special collection at the courthouse. Corbett said he plans to donate to the City of Alexandria another 18,000 files covering property transfers in the Old Town area. That donation will occur in another year or two, after city officials have come up with the space to store and display the documents. -------- If any of you belong to a Virginia genealogical list, please forward this to them. I am not doing any Virginia research and do not belong to such a list.
