This is a great resource! It is not perfect -- for example, the 1920 transcription omits details about non-white families. But Kristy is willing to put in any additions or corrections we send her. So the entire site should prove a blessing to researchers. Go GenWeb!

I am new to this list and I am looking for information on William Finch Bolling/Bowling born about 1815. He was living in Stafford County, VA when his son Lewis Scott Bolling/Bowling was born on January 14, 1847. He was still living there when his son married Dorothy Ann Perry on May 04, 1871 in Fredericksburg, VA. I would appreciate any help you could give me and I would be glad to exchange information. Jean Royal Birmingham, AL

Did any of your Bowlings/Bolings end up in Kentucky? There is lots in Hazard and Perry.....they are related to the Coombs line and they have a site on the Internet......later Kaye

Dear Stafford Co. listers, This URL should be among your favorites (or bookmarks) http://www.antientpress.com There are listed many publications of abstracted (transcribed) records of Stafford Co. from the earliest times--deeds, wills, court orders. Also there are many publications of other Northern Neck Counties as well as Albemarle Co. These books are rather costly, but the quality is unsurpassed. Those of us familiar with the work done by Sam (recently deceased) and Ruth Sparacio greatly desire these books. Contrary to publications of other authors, these records are almost (if not totally) verbatim transcriptions of the original records. They are highly desirable. I have been able to make many family connections using the various books of The Antient Press. I get no sales commission--and I am not a book-seller--just an aged amateur genealogist with many Northern Neck colonial ancestors. E.W.Wallace
