We regret to announce the temporary suspension of new material for our tax list website. 

We utilize our local Family History Center for 99% of all our tax list microfilms. These microfilms have been of adequate quality and their microfilm copier has been better than most. We have tried to get interlibrary loan microflims from the LVA but have learned after several attempts that our local public library system is not very efficient at this process and we have only received one order out of five attempts. And that took over 6 months to get. Therefore when we get microfilm copies from the Library of Virginia it is only because we travelled 650 miles to go there.

Last Saturday afternoon we made 111 new tax list copies and ordered 5 new microfilms. A typical experience at the Family History Center. Last Saturday night the LDS church and the FHC caught fire and burned to the ground. A total loss. We have tried a couple of other FHC's within an hour's drive but their microfilm copiers have not really been adequate. So it appears that we may be forced to wait for the FHC to rebuild before we can continue. We hope that our current website content can be adequate for the time being. Sorry.
