Subject: Query: City of Lynchburg Reservoir
Dear all,
I am looking for primary or secondary sources about the construction of
the City of Lynchburg reservoir. I am particularly interested in the
records of family relocation. Are there archives? Any information
would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jodi

City/county plat maps should identify property owners prior to the sale
of land and construction of the reservoir. If the property was used as
a rental the tenants would probably not be identified in county records.
Were any cemeteries relocated? If so, they should be in the public
records.

Have you tried contacting the LOCAL Land Title companies? Titles go back
to
the beginning of our country. ALSO, this land would have been subject to
condemnation through eminent domain proceedings. The district or county
courts would also be a venue to research. Make sure that the reservoir
time
lines of construction are researched because you may be running into the
counties changing or expanding, therefore you will run into multiple
counties to research.
