Thanks. It might be worth reporting that Linda Wheeler's "A House Divided" Civil War blog at the Washington Post now includes a posting about this database: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/house-divided/post/database-of-virginia-slave-names-made-public/2010/12/20/gIQAeWaTVK_blog.html P.S.: No one who knows me would predict that I'd skip this opportunity to point to Wheeler's adjactent posting, which is about Fort Monroe, and to which I submitted a summary comment about how the threat to that national treasure now stands: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/house-divided/post/fort-monroe-closes--for-now/2010/12/20/gIQAjJOlXK_blog.html ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
