Fine info, Kristina !!!!!!!!!!! All should realize that MANY, if not MOST, counties have such an inventory of records, very few of which yet appear on the internet. If all one is doing is searching the net, but not looking at local sites like yours that reveal what sources are out there and available, a lot of time is being wasted and a lot of folks are giving up for the mere want of searching. All should notice that the Southampton Hist. Soc. website has a similar almost complete list of available records, thanks to Bruce and the other fine members of that society. Keep up the good work, K. :-) Paul

Also they note 1851-1852 records were burned.
And 1853-1911 are in the state library in richmond.
