Hi there, and thanks for the info about the book. Thanks, too, for the website (dmkheritage.com). The Shenandoah County Library has a copy of the book in the Shenandoah Room. What a wealth of knowledge in that room!!! Shenandaoh Pioneers and their Descendants A History of Frederick County, Virginia T.K. Cartmell Imprint: Winchester, VA: Eddy Press Corporation 1909 Subject: History -- Frederick County, VA. Subject: History -- Shenandoah County, VA. Subject: Shenandoah County (Va.) -- History. Subject: Shenandoah County -- Genealogy Shen. Rm Nonfiction AR 975.59 CAR Non-Checkout This info made me think about THE FAMILY TREE WORKSHOP which was taught at the county library in October. Archivist, Jean Martin, gave us a printout entitled WHAT COUNTY IS THIS? It shows that Shenandoah County is located in the Shenandoah Valley which is part of The Great Valley of Virginia. Shenandoah County began as part of Orange County. Augusta County was created in 1738. (Frederick County was formed at the same time. Together they included all the land west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.) Dunmore County, created in 1772. Name changed to Shenandoah County in 1777. You probably knew that information. Just adding as a refresher. Going Ons at the County Library this week: 1. Join the Shenandoah County Library and Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation in welcoming Mrs. Santa Claus to the library on Wednesday, December 12th at 10:30 a.m. 2. Quilt Show and Demonstration on Thursday 13 4-7 pm. Come out to the library and see the work of the "Loose Threads" quilting club! Club members will be displaying their work and will answer questions about their quilts or quilting techniques. Check out a book on quilting while you're here! (I don't think I belong to this quilting club even though I have a few things LOOSE!!!) Hope to see some of you there!!!
