Virginia’s extensive colonial and early American records make it a cornerstone for genealogical research, which can be attested in the different references published in the state; together with land grants, county histories, and church registers, these help trace families back to the 1600s. Revolutionary War service files, plantation archives, and early migration patterns offer deep insights into family histories from one of the original thirteen colonies.
