I have received several emails over the last month, asking about "firsts" and having no clue, i referred people to the library, but either they did not live in the state or they did not have time to go fishing around the library. So while i was in there i went digging myself. so my answers could not be found in the PRINT books. but i did stumble upon the answers in the very first ORDER book for PAC. starts around MAY-JUNE 1691, there are some references to 1642 but for my purposes i'm starting with june 1691. now i'm working with a handwritten book and it's huge, 3 feet long by 2 feet wide and several inches thick. it took several trys at the copier to get the page reduced enough to fit on an 8 x 11 piece of paper, therefore making smaller print even smaller. so anyway, i copied a few pages and thought i'd share a little, now if you see your ancestors name and it's where i ???? or **** help would be appreciated. feel free to ask questions. also i'm in the middle of gathering lunenburg wills, i currently have 1833-1851 also i am currently in the middle of gathering albemarle marriages? need to organize. ok for the firsts: ********* not a clue in the world what that word is, help would be appreciated. ??????? can't read last name, please if known, verify spelling, thanks......
