CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT DONATES
MICROFILMED RECORDS TO RELIC
Thanks to the generosity of Michele B. McQuigg, Clerk of the
Circuit Court, RELIC recently received 69 microfilm reels of important
Prince William County government records. We now have film of all
surviving Prince William deeds 1731-1918, wills 1734-1951 (index to
1971), Board of Supervisors minutes 1870-1973 (gap 1962-1968), and World
War II discharge records. We previously had most surviving court
minutes prior to 1870. We now have an index to judgments 1870-1962.
Other Prince William films at RELIC include: marriages 1854-1946,
births and deaths 1853-1896, personal property tax lists 1782-1870, land
tax lists 1782-1892, bonds 1753-1873, District Court minutes 1793-1817,
land causes 1789-1844, plat book 1789-1858, Northern Neck grants
1690-1859.
The Clerk's Office offers an online digital subscription for
the following documents: deeds and plats since 1918, marriage licenses
(index only) since 1986, probate records since 1989, and judgments since
1998 (index from 1988). Go to www.pwcgov.org <http://www.pwcgov.org/> ,
