Ruby- I contacted the Virginia Library regarding baptism records pre-1750. According to researchers, there is a very limited number of records from this time period. The only means of examining the records is in person so I will research them when I visit Richmond in November. I have discovered a marvelous resource for early Virginia court/deed/marriage and birth records in Virginia. Sam and Ruth Sparacio have been transcribing these records from county books and microfilm for a number of years and have made the information available for purchase via their website. The address is www.antientpress.com Their books are also available at some libraries, including the Virginia Library. The Virginia Library will not do an inter-library loan outside of Virginia so I will either buy a couple of the books or will see if they are available through any library in NY. If anyone can get access to these records via loan from within Virginia, I would be interested in anything pertinent to Wale/Whale/Whaley pre-1700. Robert Whaley Rochester, NY
