…some Research Sites I find useful, just click the links:

…a mere 8 years to ponder (a shame what was lost)

This link is to some remarkable records…only recently returned to Virginia after being pilfered by Yankee soldiers during the Civil War… now transcribed and fully searchable:

I recently have come to appreciate Google Maps concerning research in Virginia. Simply type in a search term in the search link and see what pops up. In this example it refers to and identifies “Conjurers Neck”… give it a try…

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Conjurers+Neck,+Colonial+Heights,+VA+23834/@37.2854044,-77.3752633,2259m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89b1a80ef49f0ecb:0xa50d6c0956d2d918!8m2!3d37.285433!4d-77.3712026!16s%2Fg%2F1tfbjlxf?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Another example… in this case, the original location of Abraham Wood’s ‘Fort’ and later Indian Trading Post in downtown present Petersburg…

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Peter+Jones+Trading+Station/@37.232898,-77.4100142,2261m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89b1a66e842b2c01:0xc614dec2d41c0707!8m2!3d37.232898!4d-77.4074393!16s%2Fg%2F11c19v5k2h?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Virginia is rich in history… I have spent some pleasant hours roaming around the streets of the counties using Google “Street View”… amazing
