I did notice that you could get in this way and could actually search a  
name also, but to my sadness I could not find my Roger Bell.
 
Thanks

Purse  and Person, G-P surnames, is on google. Go to google and put in the  
 
search box "purse & person" "google books" and click search. The  first  
link 
will take you there. Choose "preview this  book".

I am   going to try and reply to several of you in one email. 

Janice, I  have  not posted sites. I was asking if others would do so with 
good  sites they have  found that are not on Ancestry.com or another paid  
source. Will however, post  some too.

Claude, I have run  across the 1704 Quit Rent site as Ihave  looked on 
Virginia RootsWeb  in the various counties. Dumb me did not copy down  the 
URL or 
save  it. Now I cannot find it. I hope maybe someone has it book  marked to 
 
share. But it is there. I promise. 

As for searching for line   prior to 1700, I have two mainstays. One is 
Purse and Person and the other  is  Pioneer and Cavaliers. Both are 
wonderful 
sources of early  material. They are  not on line other than in a paid 
source. 
But most  all libraries with a  genealogical area have them both. There are 
 
multiple books in each and P&P  is sourced! Just beware that in  P&C there 
are 
many men who were a  transportee who were claimed  by a number of people. I 
copied down all Thomas  Greens and was  amazed to find about 15 or more who 
were all transportees into  VA.  Some in the same county and some in 
neighboring counties. It takes  time  and work to get them straight.

I have also used the early  Parish  records, The Vestry Book and Register 
of 
St. Peter’s Parish  for one,   when they exist and have been amazed at the 
amount of  information I found in  New Kent County when I went through it 
page  
by page! DO NOT just use the  index! I found approximate death dates  when 
someone was replaced on the  Vestry.

Let me go and search  my saved emails and see what good web  sites I can 
share and I hope  you will do the same.
