This data set contains all four volumes of Genealogies of Virginia Families from Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine and the complete set of Virginia Colonial Abstracts originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company. Genealogies of Virginia Families consists of over 350 family history articles originally published in Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine between 1919 and 1952. Virginia Colonial Abstracts was originally published in thirty-four paperback volumes between 1937 and 1949. These volumes bring together a wealth of information from Virginia records and are the result of extensive research in county courthouses, militia lists, wills and deeds. Most of the abstracts were based on the earliest records known to exist.

Each page of Genealogies of Virginia Families and Virginia Colonial Abstracts is accurately reproduced on this data set so you can see not only the full text of the articles, but also the accompanying illustrations.
