Lookups

Though I have Wythe County ancestors, I don't live in Virginia so am unable to do lookups locally. However, as time permits, I can do lookups on Ancestry, MyHeritage, Fold3, and Newspapers.com, but please do not abuse this privilege.

I have the following publications in my possession. Some are digital and in the public domain. Those will have links to view online or download for your use. As time permits, I can do lookups in the other publications.
