REMINDER:

I have been asked to again pass along the details of the one (1) full
day seminar in Courtland, Southampton Co., VA next Saturday, Oct 16th.
The day will be dedicated to seeking out VA records to be found in the
courthouses and other local and area sources and archives, and with
"how-to" solve some of your "brick walls".  Particular emphasis will
be given to church/parish records, deeds, land, taxes and tithe
records, "loose papers", and an hour will be spent by all in learning
to draw the boundaries of ancestral lands from early deed
descriptions.

Bruce, Joe, Pat Holland, and Mary Beth have scoured Southampton and
several of the neighboring counties and will be prepared to speak of
the many, many research sources to be found in Southside.  Equally,
important, they also will speak of what is NOT to be found locally and
thus must be sought elsewhere.  We think that all will benefit from
their in-depth search for every record to be found locally in the
southern VA counties.

The event is sponsored by the Southampton County Historical Society
and the Rawls Library (22511 Main St., Courtland, Va.), and will be
held at that Library in Courtland.  We will commence at 9:30 AM and
continue till 4:00+.  We suggest you arrive near 9:00 for
registration, and be sure to bring your lunch and a drink.  Coffee
will be available.  Though we do not speak of money on these websites,
all should know that the price is very modest, and the text, though
not required, is advised and will be for sale at the desk.

Please notify Bruce Saunders for more information and of your
intention to attend at [log in to unmask] or by phone at 757-562-4403.
You are always free to call me at 931-484-9129 and to email me at

Hope to see and meet you there.  Paul
