These original volumes contain abundant genealogical information supplied by the families themselves, but the information has been largely inaccessible to family history researchers for two reasons: these volumes lack a suitable index, and so few copies of the original work are in existence (copies are available only at a few large libraries). Col. Wardell's alphabetically arranged work provides abstracts of the genealogical data for all persons mentioned in these two volumes, most being natives of Virginia or West Virginia; the data on those persons who came to Virginia or West Virginia from other states or countries are also given. In the early 1600s, some families immigrated to Virginia and these entries include some data on their predecessors. About 32,000 individuals are identified. Entries include the following information to the extent that this information is given in the original text: full name of the subject, date and place of birth, names of parents and spouses, residence and occupation.

The author has carefully chosen books which have major genealogical significance, but carry no indices. From these volumes, he has extracted surname entries and compiled them in a listing with the appropriate references to the original books which may be borrowed through library interlibrary loan. The guide to the reference book listed here is currently used in notecard form as a major reference source by the Lloyd House of the Alexandria, Virginia library system. As noted in the title, it includes references also to West Virginia counties and families. Each entry has been carefully checked and all references to a particular surname have been integrated into a single entry. This volume indexes a total of 802 volumes of Virginia family histories and research sources. It is a labor which required years of careful, patient, page-by-page, examination of these books. This book will prove to be a classic research tool for Virginia and West Virginia genealogical investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick G.
