I like this video and it is helpful although I do have a complaint . Many of your viewers are older including me and have hearing problems. You have a huge microphone yet I have my sound wide open and still have to strain to hear you. can you please on any future videos turn up the sound if its too loud I can turn you down. However I can not turn you any higher so please turn yours up. Thank you
Thank you for the information. As an American who can trace 99% of her ancestry back to the 1600s (from 1630, that I know), it is great to have this info. Ancestry only has family info (as far as communities) from 1700. Most of the info abut formation of counties, etc., I have learned when I first started. What I find confusing is when an ancestor has records for the the county in VA and also for a county in North Carolina. I also like the online resources for Virginia and the Library of Virginia. Thanks again.
You need to go back a hundred years before that…back to the 1630's!!!
Originally, Virginia included what is now West Virginia and Virgineola (now the British territory Bermuda). During the early years, Bermuda was the most successful settlement and as the population there grew, many Bermudians settled in Virginia, the Carolinas and other new continental colonies (Alabama for example) as well as colonies in the Caribbean. This means the earliest New World records for many families in the region are to be found in the Bermuda archives.
Thank you. Most of my ancestors came into Virginia and Maryland.
I can trace my lineage in Virginia back to Pocahontas
Way hard with native American heritage from Jamestown. Is it true, one governer had all records destroyed?
My wife is a genealogist, I'm a Virginian with roots from the early 1600's. I have one correction: Virginia is pronounced "Vajenya" (wink).
Has anyone ever heard of the Mayo Settlement in VA? If so where was it?
I found a land petition in Ontario, Canada dated 1805 and it states that Michel Hofman was born in the State of Virginny in 1763. Is there a way to find out what counties had Hofman/Huffman families? By 1772 they were in Schoharie, NY and then to Upper Canada in 1786. Looking to pick up Michael's parents Nicholas and Abigail (Appolonia).
One of my earliest VA ancestors was Cicely unknown Reynolds, Bailey, Jordan, amongst other last names. There's a lot of speculation on her origins, but nothing that is proven. I am descended from her oldest daughter Temperance Bailey and the Brown surname. She supposedly came at the age of ten in 1611 aboard the Swan, but no record of her guardians.
Ever hear of Pittsylvania?
Yes! My ancestors are from Virginia!
My earliest colonial ancestor arrived in the 1670s in Virginia via the headright system and William Byrd . He was an indentured servent or laborer
Unfortunately my 8xgreat-grandfather's county was a burn county. He sailed from England to Nansemond County, VA in November 1683
How about VA records back to the mid 1600's. My own family trace back to 1650 in VA, 1624, New Amsterdam, Conn. 1636, Long Island 1640-s.
What I have found that a number of the children of my Brackett and Crocker 1630s Mass Bay ancestors went South to Virginia / Carolinas during King Philips war 1675-1699…
Also note that "the New England historical and genealogical register" vast 40+ volume records can be found in several libraries across the country… San Diego library main branch has a copy which has been very helpful to me 🙂 There is also a huge many volume register of German immigrants here as well…
I had some relatives – including my 7th great grandfather Christopher Robinson (1681-1727) from Virginia
My father's side of the family started settling Virginia before the U.S. Revolutionary War and knew and may have been related to George Washington. Shadrack Turner's log cabin is a National Landmark in Virginia.
I have a number of 5-8 th cousins, through Ancestry, who have the Savage name in common in very early Virginia and Connecticut. Apparently the Savage name is the longest continuing family in America. My great-grandmother was a Savage in England.
