Virginia was a large state covering to the Mississippi River early later shrinking down to it present size. It also encompassed a portion of North Carolina very early. It was the early Fur Trade agreements that expanded Virginia to cover to the mighty Mississippi River (Northwest Territory).
As states developed and lands were re-marked for statehood the boundaries changed.
West Virginia was taken from Virginia when the Civil War divided the peoples of the region.
We will be talking a lot about early life, to time of the Civil War for records, up through division of the state.
Come learn more about these to states sources and maps availability.

More Follow the Path, Kentucky
More Follow the Path
Today I am so pleased that I am almost to excited to write. Suddenly, the MORROW/SCOTT Family has shared more tidbits and news. In attempting to verify a MORROW connection I found more family.
The good news, well some of it, is she is a researcher for the state of Kentucky and her web site is
more than worth the time to check out the url's, friends and family have shared to increase our knowledge. She has a few pages of them. She has also a side business where she helps you build a site and do research. I have to read about this also.
She started in 2004 this site I am on: Kentucky is My Home! by Sue Ann.
It is going to take a day to go through what she has available: Coal Mine Data, Cemetery,
Family Pictures, Family Folklore etc. Just take a walk down this Path and see if there is some help here for you. She covers more than I am going to mention here. GO- LOOK and SEE.
It will take me a day to read the guest book to see if more kin is lurking there.
Amazing she was raised in Louisville, KY where my SCOTT/MORROW cousin taught at the University.
John MORROW b 1793 Virginia m Patience TUTTLE 18 May 1820 Wayne Co. Ky (his second marriage) (Tuttle is from GA and originally from Connecticut Tuttle's)
Daughter Rebecca Morrow born 1821 Mercer Co. Ky moves to Iowa with family and later marries
25 Mar 1841 Henry Co. Ia to John Cornelius SCOTT( His line goes back to Halifax Co. VA abt 1730)
Cornelius (Franklin) SCOTT b 31 Jan 1856 Moravia, IA d 4 Dec 1918 Lenox, IA marries
Ella WARDEN, Daughter of Daniel WARDEN( from PA) and Mary J LANGDON ( from VA Joseph Langdon).
His middle daughter Inez Mae SCOTT, b 6 Oct 1892 Taylor Township. IOWA m 29 Mar 1912 Moravia, IA to Cecil Lee HOFFMAN. They are my Grandparents (dcd). (His line also is VA/Maryland beginnings) Very early, very early.
Considering that almost all of these lines originated in Virginia in the beginning it is really been a Path to Follow to find my kin of long ago. Sue Ann, Thanks.

Follow the Path
Today sharing the information that, we see, we think we see and we hear and we think we hear and yet we miss the vital clue.
How does this happen you say? Example: Everyone sets down to the table, everyone has milk but one person always has coffee or water. Do you ever question why that happened? Did it ever occur to you that this person maybe was milk intolerant? I did not, and when later I asked about the milk intolerance I was told, "Did you ever see me drink a glass of milk?". Wow, what a thought to have seen and not seen.
How often does that happen in your life? Are you missing vital clues to the health of your ancestors, and family members?
We see smoking and we all have been made aware of it's side affects, but we do not see, so many things we see and do not mentally register it as a clue.
Certain foods people can eat and others can not, is this a common thing in the family or unique?
Were your ancestors, active and strong and busy, in the fields and the barns and work with animals maybe? Or were they a person living in town and a Bookkeeping clerk or Dry goods clerk? Are these clues to their health? Was breathing the wheat, oat or rye chaff, an irritant to the lungs and bronchial tubes? Were their health needs a clue to why they did certain occupations? Was certain occupations a clue to their health needs?
This is the first of many articles that will be added over the coming days. Mixed with urls and other suggestions for research.
We will be Following the Path of many genealogical thoughts that suddenly seem to be surfacing.

Philippines Tomb Discovery At 1,000-Year-Old Village Show Unexpected Advances (PHOTOS)

California Research & Other Stuff
California Research and Other Stuff
As I was wandering through my mail, found a site about California research and links that we can use.
Leslie Lawson has put together a series of urls for research in California. Suspecting once you have seen it you will utilize it quite often for California Research.
California - links for the rest of the state - Lawson Research Services, LLC
What a great resource for Californians, Thanks Leslie
Also learned that there has been work done to replace the old Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, site. It is up and running and looking for the Volunteers to make it as good or better than the previous site, which we lost due to death of creator.
So leap in and offer to help in a spot or two if you can. Mark thanks for making this information available to us.
