| More details about Colonial Virginia Source Records, 1600s-1700s: |
Comprehensive in its coverage of colonial Virginia, this data set references approximately
353,000 individuals in a unique collection of family histories, local histories,
military records, court records, newspaper abstracts, tax lists, and marriage
records.
The sources collected
here are especially useful because they were collected from local sources and
often cover a period of time before centralized record keeping was established,
including the oldest Quaker records in Virginia, the so-called Chuckatuck Record.
Among the more unusual
resources is a collection of abstracts from 18th century Virginia newspapers (found
in the book Genealogical Abstracts from 18th-Century Virginia Newspapers).
Extracted from more than 7,000 issues of 80 newspapers, each abstract provides
at least two pieces of genealogical data. This is an especially exciting resource
for obtaining information on enslaved African-American ancestors since many of
the abstracts are advertisements for the return of runaway slaves.
