What is (or was) a Homestead Deed in the late 19th century in Virginia. I find several documents re my ancestors that are filed in connection with Homestead Deeds. When I google it, I get bankruptcy information. Although it's possible, I doubt that these folks were filing for bankruptcy. Thanks for any help. --Sally Phillips To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
