Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1853, the Commonwealth of Virginia began an annual registration of births and deaths. The Birth Index of Slaves, 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Works Project Administration (WPA) and recorded on microfilm. While the information-name of slave owner, infant's name, mother's name, birth date, place of birth-is of immense value to genealogists, working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence, the creation of this multi-volume reference work, Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865. In 2003, staff and volunteers with Local History/Special Collections, Alexandria Library began to transcribe the WPA microfilm, enter data into spreadsheets, and sort the information by slave owner's surname and given name. Entries include single births, multiple births, and stillbirths. Occasionally, both parents of an enslaved infant are identified. In rare instances, the name of a freeborn infant appears. Independent city and county names are spelled out. Data not reported in the microfilm is denoted by "----." Illegible text in the microfilm is denoted by "####." This index includes more than 130,000 entries.

The Birth Index of Slaves, 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) and recorded on microfilm. While the information - name of informant, infant's name, mother's name, birth date, place of birth - is of immense value to genealogists, working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence, the creation of this multi-volume reference work, Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865. The Geographic Supplement will assist those whose research has led them to a locale rather than to an informant. There is an alphabetized list of informants for each county and city. The surname (or corporate name) appears once in each locale. The researcher then consults the "lettered" volume of the Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865 for the informant's full name and the infant's birth date. The researcher should then examine the county (or city) birth register for that year for additional information. When two locales are reported for one birth, the researcher should examine the birth register of the first named county (or city) before proceeding. Birth registers for this period are on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new compilation by members and friends of the Fauquier Court House Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, is a very welcome addition to the published genealogical data on Fauquier County. These abstracts provide the following information in tabular format (to the extant that the data is in the original registers): name of the child, date of birth, sex, status (free or slave), color (if born free), names of parents, and a citation to the birth register where additional information such as residences and occupations can sometimes be found. Since the birth registers themselves are unindexed, this new alphabetically arranged compilation also serves as a master index to that important set of records. P3216HB -
