I'm new to this list, but not to genealogy or the great services provided by rootsweb. I recently had a catastrophic computer crash and lost many files and photos. Having trouble finding the links that will help me replace some data. One was a link to various petitions and letters from citizens to the VA governor that contained signatures of William Paxton and others of Augusta/Botetourt/Rockbridge Counties. Can't find what I'm looking for at the Lib.of Congress or LVA, but may not be entering the right search terms. Maybe the signatures I had came be from other sources. Any help finding these links much appreciated. II hate losing those copies of ancestral signatures. --Joanne PS Lesson: Virus protection alone is not enough to protect against malicious codes.
