Description

That is an encyclopedic listing of Virginia sources and resources for the genealogist. Ms. McGinnis devotes entire chapters to such subjects as Virginia land, people, and history; immigration and migration; important records; Bible and church records; census records; land and court records; manuscripts and records out of the country; ethnic Virginia; slavery and African-Americans; counties and their records; independent cities and their records; genealogical collections; and genealogical societies. Several sections of the book are based upon answers to questionnaires which the writer sent to Virginia courthouses and historical and genealogical societies. The bibliography on my own runs to 125 pages and incorporates references to 1,421 books and articles on all aspects of Virginia genealogy. By any measurement, it is a real giant of a book–and the usual wherein all future textbooks on Virginia genealogy shall be measured.
