A Research Service of:
James E. Ward, Sr.
and
Karen B.Ward, M.A.
We provide a professional genealogical records
research service to family genealogists
and historians who need assistance in conducting research on Virginia genealogy
and history.
In this effort, we provide on site research at the
Library of Virginia and the Virginia Historical Society Library
as well as
traveling to County Courthouses and various County & Regional
Libraries in Virginia.
Research on Pre-Revolutionary
Colonial families can often be accomplished through
Parish Vestry Books
and Registers as well as early county records such as; deeds, wills and
court records. "The
Virginia Colonial Records Project", a cooperative project by a number
of educational institutions, to identify Colonial Records in British and
European repositories, can also be researched for help with Virginia Genealogy.
Research on Colonial families can
sometimes be aided by the investigation of Revolutionary service records such
as Pension and Bounty Warrant Applications. These applications often have
information on the genealogy of Virginia families. We can search the archives
of the Library of Virginia for the possible military service records of your
ancestor in one of the original thirteen colonies. Click [here] for more
information.
The Civil War had a profound effect on families and is important in understanding their histories. Virginia Confederate Soldier and Widow's Pension
Applications often help with the genealogy of Virginia families during this trying time in our nation's history. We can search the archives in Richmond for the available Virginia Confederate records of your ancestors. Click [here] for more
information.
We strive to promote:
-A coherent, truthful approach to genealogy, family history and local history.
-Trust and security of our genealogical consumers.
-The welfare of the genealogical community.
-The access and preservation of records.
