They came from Maryland, Northern Virginia, Eastern Virginia and from surrounding areas to the Virginia Genealogy Seminar to hear Mr. Robert Clay talk on Virginia Research which included the Geography, Migration and Records. This seminar was held on November 2 at the Culpeper Junior High School.
Mr. Clay, a noted Archivist is Chief of the Reference Desk of the Virginia State Library in Richmond, Virginia. There were 130 people, including high school librarians, students, Genealogical and Historical Society representatives, Colonial Dames and members from various SAR and DAR chapters, who listened attentively for four hours to what Mr. Clay had to say about tracing ancestorial records.
He said so many of the oldest records had been destroyed by fire or through negligence. Military records are difficult to find and what is found is useless for genealogical purposes. No Civil War records are found in Virginia.
Various exhibits from book companies attracted attention.
