But my mother's family are LFV's--last families of Virginia, so there's not much info about them. Do you live anywhere near Norfolk or Virginia Beach? If so, I may ask for some help. A great aunt died in Va Beach, and there may be some probate records you could get for me. Thanks. Francha >> I live across the Roads from Norfolk, but I almost never get there. Should someday now that my great granddaughter's line has developed in Norfolk. I do have access to the state archives probate film through Inter Library Loan. Some take a week to arrive, some 3 months. Let me know. Shirley
