-o0o- For a non-Virginian, one of the biggest stumbling blocks in genealogical research concerns the subdivision of counties. From a handful of very large counties (Augusta County epitomizes this) to dozens of far smaller counties, telling where an ancestor might have lived at any point in time can be challenging at best. We located an animated map of foundation of the counties of Virginia that we're pleased to pass along to you. Here's the link: http://www.vagenealogy101.com/maps/ Please note it is NOT a page under control of Between the Lakes Group (although we wouldn't mind being able to claim it as our own). It's incredibly useful! Want to learn more about your family's origins? Consider DNA testing!
