Virginia Family Tree - a genealogy resource
http://www.virginiafamilytree.com
This is my Virginia genealogy blog, nothing fancy, just a way to share what I have found in my research over the years. Most of the information is from my own family tree. I include some general resources and information but most of it is specific to my own ancestry. I transcribe and post various wills, deeds, obituaries, cemeteries and birth, marriage and death records. Occasionally I will review genealogy products or services such as DNA testing, software and other sites or data sources.
