Virginia Historical Index or Swem Index Library of Virginia
VIRGINIA HISTORICAL INDEX
Virginia Historical Index in Two Volumes, by E. G. Swem,
Librarian of the College of William and Mary, Designed, printed and
bound by The Stone Printing and Manufacturing Company, Edward L. Stone
President, Roanoke, Virginia, U.S.A. - MDCCCCXXXIV (1934)
E.G.Swem or Earl Gregg Swem was a great Virginia Historian.
This was a MONUMENTAL PROJECT. Mr SWEM had roots in Fauquier
County, Virginia.
The reader will want to refer to the original index if information
cannot be found. These books are available in most major libraries.
They are very large collections with several volumes in each collection.
They often have very great information. Do not let this work overwhelm
you. Perhaps we will find a lot of answers in these old Virgina volumes.
The rewards will be worth the effort as always. Good luck.
