Northern Virginia has several newspapers called "[Place Name] Journal." If you have relatives in the northern Virginia area, or think you may have long-lost cousins there, check out the archived articles online. They go back to the 1970's, so they may not help you with your ancestry, but they can help you to broaden your search. The Journal Newspapers Online at http://jrnl.com/cfdocs/new/pw/searchall.cfm will allow you to search for articles from All the Journal newspapers or from just one-- Alexandria Arlington Fairfax Montgomery Prince George's Prince William You can search with as little as one word (for example, a surname). The site says, "The Archives contains stories from all of The Journal Newspapers as far back as January 1971 and as current as today. All of the Journal Archives are free of charge. It is possible to search any individual Journal Publication for Articles, Pictures, or Downloadable PDF versions of the Print Edition."

I live in Northern Virginia and read the Prince William Journal from time to time. I found this URL which will take you to a search engine of the Journal Newspapers (all) but it doesn't appear to go back as far as was listed in this thread (1970) http://www.jrnl.net/search/search.html Anne, did anyone named Musser who is related to you go to high school in Manassas during the '60s? If yes, email me private as I may have been a classmate. wclathan@home.com ----- Original Message ----- From: ANNE B.
