Resources in my library:

I have the following hard-copy books in my collection which, if you do not abuse the privilege, I would be willing to check information:

Judy B. Anderson, Virginia Connections. A Genealogical History of the Thompson-Ward Family Originating in Southwest Virginia (Bountiful, Utah: Family History Publishers, 1992).  Public copy at LDS Family History Library, US/CAN 929.273 T37 lanj, Salt Lake City, Utah,.

Bland County Centennial Corporation, History of Bland County (Virginia) (Radford, Virginia: Commonwealth Press, 1961).  Public copy at LDS Family History Library, US/CAN 975.5765 H2b, fiche 6048187, Salt Lake City, Utah.

William T. Hearne, Brief History and Genealogy of the Hearne Family (Independence, Missouri: Examiner Printing Company, 1907). LDS Family History Library, LDS microfilm 0553999. Microfilmed from original in Library of Congress.   I have an original of the 1899 version (including the tree foldout) and a photocopy of the entire 1907 update.   One of my current projects is to digitize this book and make it available on the web, since the copyrights have expired and it is now in public domain.

Current projects:

Moving my database to the web.  Currently have Thompson and Hearne information indexed and available.  This is from the new version of Personal Ancestral File 4.0, which has a web creation tool.  By the way, it's free if you want to check it out!

Digitizing William T. Hearne's  Brief History and Genealogy of the Hearne Family.    Status:  All of the text is online. Working now on the pictures.

Sorting through the Fannons / Fannings in Wythe / Bland county.
