Hello members, A week or two ago, someone identified a lady at the NC-VA Genealogical Library, who is very kind about helping people, and a real sleuth. I tried to find their website, which was finally identified here the other day (thank you, Kate). In the meantime, I've lost the lady's name. Would someone be kind enough to give it again?

Sherry, I have also seen a website by that name but I can't remember where I saw it!! I've noticed that I find different things on MSN at work than I do at home on AOL. I'll check and see. Dianne Ramsey

Hi Sherry, I don't know if there's a list, per se, but you can get a good idea by taking a look at "Adventurers of Purse and Person" which is compiled by the Order of First Families (of Virginia). You might be able to find it at a historical society library or state archive library. It's been reprinted recently and might be available for purchase. Good luck! Tom

Can anyone tell me where I might get a list of who is considered a First Family of Virginia? Thanks, Sherry
