The May 2024 issue of The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy is now available to members under the Publications menu.
This issue continues to explore records often ignored in our search for information that will move our research forward. As Editor, Barbara Vines Little, reminds us
Limiting ourselves to an area because that is where the person lived, limits our research opportunities as well. People may have lived in a specific city or county area, but their activities, acquaintances, and relatives are often found elsewhere. And that elsewhere could hold the answer to our question(s).
Featured articles include:
- A Letter from Avery M. Keesee to Austin L. Green, 1848
