New Websites for Research

Well, I am either never on here, or I have a lot to say and post almost every day it seems!

I have three websites which some of you may be interested in.

For descendants of the Crews family that left Hanover, Henrico, Charles City, and New Kent Counties and headed south, David Crews and some others have a nice website called Wiregrass Genealogy. There are some nice family histories of various families, but there are a lot of Crews histories on their page. This family migrated to the South Carolina area around 1800. These families are connected to our own families that came to Kentucky having come from the Quaker families around Tidewater Virginia. Ours went west into Kentucky, and those branches went south.

Another website of interest that I have found is Genealogy Wise. It is chock full of resources, web pages, web page links (like to Facebook pages), etc. Great resource for anyone starting out on their genealogy adventure or who has been doing it for a number of years. I have met some Crews cousins through this website and am hopefully going to be the recipient of information to round out some of the lines for my second Metes & Bounds book that I would otherwise not have uncovered.

Third, I have created a Facebook for The Descendants of John McQueen & Nancy Crews. This is for all those lines that include and descend from the Barclays, Beans, Taylors, etc. I will be posting some snippets and facts as well as answering questions or exchanging information. My goal is to locate and/or reconnect with as many of John and Nancy's descendants as possible now that the 3rd book in my Metes & Bounds series is nearing completion. (I have had to push the publication back to early 2015.)
