Where do I find records for that time period covering this area? Supposedly my 4th ggfather was born there. And there is at least 8 surname variations on documents after he migrated from there to Ohio. Thank you. Breya Warnstaff, heirtrackers@gmail.com

    You need to go to the main Community Groups page, enter Virginia into the Search Box and Enter. The groups for Virginia will pop up. Determine which group to join and ask your question there. People in this group will have experience with Virginias records and can be a guide for your research. There also might be a Wiki that can help you with the research process and records available. Good Luck, Sister Whicker

    One idea is to go to the FamilySearch Wiki and type in Botetourt, Virginia. The Wiki for Botetourt includes links to the Library of Virginia's website and a research guide published by The Virginia Genealogist.

    Do a general Google search for Botetourt County - genealogical or historical society.

    Another valuable resource is Cyndi's List - a compiled list of websites for locations and topics. I would look for Botetourt County.
