In addition, where there were gaps in the Virginia papers, newspapers from nearby states were scanned for Virginia material.
Information furnished in the abstracts varies from item to item, of course.
Thanks to Dr. Headley's labors, we now have abstracts of approximately 10,000 items of a genealogical nature found in 18th-century Virginia papers, and an index to an additional 10,000 persons mentioned in the notices. If you've hit a dead-end in your Virginia research, this may be the way out. All rights reserved.
