The book should be completed loaded, THEN download so you have a copy for yourself … 336 pages, published 1897 … Two special notes: NOT everything got properly indexed when this book was digitized. Some people in the end-of-book index cannot be found by searching. Go to the page listed in the index. Also spelling was different back then don’t you know. Is not uncommon for ‘Catherine’ to be spelt as ‘Chatherine’, not that there are not already many ways to spell the name otherwise. Perhaps to save ink and paper, many abbreviations are used for both names and other things … Overall this book is super indexed in that this PDF book contains the registry of life events in the parish as well as an index at the end of the book. Unique to this parish record are the many slaves that are listed by name and their own life events … Published by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Virginia.
