Elders of Virginia Research information on Elders of Virginia, by Ann Elder Brooks Poe


These family histories were compiled from a variety of sources, such as regional county histories, census records, wills & estate records - but also information submitted by individual descendants over many years. They are by NO MEANS complete!!!!

I have posted enough generations for researchers (especially newbies) to hopefully be able to figure out if they fit in a particular line. The next step is to take a look through the MEMBER LIST for other researchers working on a line of interest.


If the individual compiler is noted above please contact them for additional information. If you cannot find someone listed on the membership lists for your line of interest then please contact Donna for additional contacts on a particular line above.
