We have had some great postings on the Via Message Board lately. I have really enjoyed reading them. So many have been so generous. William's insights from all his years of researching are extremely interesting. The Coat of Arms information was really great to have. And Jewell's contributions are many. And we are ever under the watchful guidance of Judy, the good shepherdess. Wonder what ole Amer, William and Micajah would make of it all?  One wonders during this bitter cold Virginia winter, how our forebears ever survived in those log cabins. I know they must have burned lots of wood. <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/neddybarney/">Edna Barney</A>

The Via family coat of arms in REAL. I did primary research in Holland and France in their national genealogical libraries and found the oldest coat of arms books included the VIA family coat of arms which I believe was given to a particular VIA prominent family. In the 1300's the Via family in France, before the Huguenot persecution two Via men held prominent positions in the church as relatives who were appointed to be Bishops. This coat of arms was given to a particular Via family but which one I do not know. Leon Via
