Family Archives CD #550 Retail Value of Books Included: $714.00
This two-CD set encompasses a huge collection of Virginia genealogies and biographies, the majority of which were compiled by recognized authorities from source records dating from the 1600s to the early 1900s. Based on books originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company that feature biographies, lineage records, pedigrees, genealogical sketches, and full-blown family histories, this CD identifies some 310,000 individuals in meticulously crafted studies that span as many as three centuries. Until now this body of material has been totally beyond the reach of the ordinary researcher, available only at a handful of public and university libraries.
Drawing liberally on private letters, diaries, and manuscripts, as well as church records, vital records, court records, wills and administrations, books, newspapers, and personal reminiscences, this is one of the best-documented collections of Virginia genealogies and biographies ever assembled. Intended as a one-stop resource, the collection contains hundreds, perhaps thousands, of separate genealogies, tracing descendants through six, seven, and eight generations. In general, the genealogies are augmented by will abstracts, obituary notices, manuscript entries, parish vestry and register notations, marriage notices, newspaper excerpts, gravestone inscriptions, and a great variety of biographical matter.
