RELIC is pleased to announce the premier issue of our free electronic
journal, Prince William Reliquary.   This quarterly magazine of genealogy
and local history for Prince William County, Virginia, is sponsored by the
Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center (RELIC), a department of the Prince William
Public Library System.  It is edited by our very capable and dedicated
volunteer, Carolyn Lynn.  Among the material contained in this first 24-page
issue:

Prince Willliam deaths from Virginia burial transportation permits
1910-1914.
Employee lists for the American Agricultural Chemical Company and Cabin
Branch Mining Company 1910-1920.
Index to the 1850 agricultural census (including names, acreage, and page
references).

Features we plan to include on a regular basis:
* Queries (should have a Prince William County connection).
* Current news items relating to local historical or genealogical research.
* Articles highlighting events in Prince William's history.
* Abstracts and indexes to unpublished genealogical sources.
* Compiled family histories: 3 or 4 generations from an early settler.
* Discoveries in RELIC: a focus on our lesser-used resources.
* Citations to buried Prince William information from other publications.
* Family Bible records and other sources submitted by our readers.
* Letters to the editor.
