In this episode, we're focusing on early Virginia genealogy.
 
In our first segment, I've invited a professional genealogist to join us to help pave the way for tracing our ancestors back to Virginia just prior to the Revolutionary War. Jeri Satterwhite-Dearing specializes in early Virginia research in her work as a professional genealogist with Legacy Tree Genealogists.  In this video, she explains some of the biggest challenges you'll face when researching early Virginian ancestors, the records you should be looking for, and some of the best resources.  
 
In the second segment, I'll cover a list of the best websites for Virginia Genealogy.
