Virginia Genealogy: Go-To Published Resources

Virginia was not only the largest and most populous of the American colonies, but its population was also highly migratory within Virginia’s borders and beyond. Little wonder then that so many family historians need to research Virginian ancestors. In this webinar, Senior Genealogist Kyle Hurst shares her go-to Virginia-based resources within five categories: genealogies, journals, land, taxation, and history. Learn about essential published sources that discuss family groups and help us to trace Virginian ancestors through time and place. NOTE: West Virginia (up until its separation from Virginia in 1863) will be included in this presentation.

What a fantastic presentation - thank you so much! I have a 'Smith' connection and a county name, so hopefully I will be able to dig up further information and possibly go back in time from there, too. There is family lore that we are related to Pocahontas (as I suppose are millions? of others), and trying to verify if there's any truth to that.

My 6th great gf was Christopher Robinson (d.1693), "Hewick" Plantation, Urbanna, VA, also House Of Burgess member, and a founding trustee of the College of William and Mary 1692, by his 2nd wife Katherine Hone Beverley Robinson, daughter of Maj Theopilus Hone, Jamestown 1607, thus a 7th maternal gr grandfather. I am 9 Robinson generations down from Virginia to Georgia.
