Hi all, A couple of additional comments: 1: If you don't want to invest in the book, I have found it available in many large city and/or college libraries. 2: For those of you who have been relying on John W. Wayland's book "Virginia Valley Records" for the minutes of the Linville Creek Baptist Church: Wayland does NOT have a complete set of those minutes in his book. The "Grey Trail" book is more difficult to search for the church minutes because they are scattered throughout the book. In it, however, I found the baptism of my g-g-g-grandmother Esther Runyon, which is not in "V.V. Records". Other persons have experienced similar results with their families. 2a: If any of you can get into the Library of Virginia, in Richmond, they have the Linville Creek church records in book form. I am assuming that that is more complete, than either of the above, but I have not had the opportunity to view that book. If any of you do have the chance to do so, please let me know. I have questions about it. 2b: The Linville Creek book, in Richmond, is a copy of a microfilm in the Pennsylvania Genealogy Library in Philadelphia. Just in case any of you are closer to Philadelphia and would like to check it out there. Norman
