I'm trying to research family that lived in Virginia around 1800. The records during that time were destroyed. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to begin? Also, it is unknown exactly where in Virginia although I believe it is a portion of Virginia that later became Kentucky. I appreciate any help, advice, suggestions, etc. Sincerely, Jessica Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
