How about it, PA researchers, where are the records pertaining to those areas of VA that became PA, and vice-versa? Paul ---- Original Message ----- From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Early Virginia (including southwest Pennsylvania) Hello List: The Southwest part of Pennsylvania was a part of Virginia and I am guessing that this was prior to 1781. Washington County, PA was formed in 1781. Would the LVA have any records, and would this area be called Monongahela? How would I find the sources, if any?
