Virginia Formation Maps
| Last Update 2007/9/29 14:34 |
Description
West Virgina can present some unique challenges to the researcher when one discovers that particular ancestor that never moved from his birthplace, but none the less lived in two different states and four different counties. These maps provide coverage of every significant boundary change for Virginia from 1617 to present day. By extension, this covers portions of Kentucky and all of West Virginia.
