Hello. I am new to this list. Can anyone recommend the best book(s) for genealogy research for the state of Virginia? I have been doing genealogy for 30 years but have never done anything in VA and need a guidebook for the state. Most of my research will be in and around Russell County if that makes any difference. Thanks! Phyllis

I'm in the same situation as Phyllis -- I've been doing New England research, it seems like forever. But I've got one branch of my family from Virginia: William Monroe, who moved to KY, m. Artimissia Frissell (sp?), and d. in Janesville, WI, 20 June 1856, at the age of 52 years. Their children were William H., b. 15 Jul 1837, in New Orleans Mary Delilah, b. 28 Nov 1848, ? Ella, b. ca. 1853 There were probably some other children, but I have no more information, other than that the family moved to Janesville, WI. Any help will be hugely appreciated.
