Hi everyone, I thought that I would share a small project that I am working on. The Library of Virginia has a lot of land grants online with the card indexes and document images. So, I am working through transcribing the Givens and Gregory land patents. I don't know the genealogical significance of these, but I find these interesting because it shows relationships of the different people. Anyway, if you want more of these, let me know.
