Now in its sixth year of publication, Tidewater Virginia Families is widely recognized as the best new source of valuable genealogical findings for Virginia's oldest area of settlement. Through a special arrangement with Virginia Davis, Clearfield Company is now able to offer its customers a complete set of the first five volumes of her periodical, published during the years 1992-1996. Each volume is perfect bound and contains complete name indexes to the contents of all four issues. The five volumes range over Bible records, lists of marriages, abstracts of deeds and wills, military records, tax records and tithables, guardianship records, parish registers, tombstone inscriptions, and so on. Mrs. Davis has also sprinkled the magazine with a variety of methodological essays germaine to the Tidewater region, including tracing Virginia ancestors, county and parish formation, records pertaining to "burned counties," vital statistics, map collections, and places of note.
