However at the rate collections are being added, I don't want to miss anything NEW to me.

The microfilms must have been digitized within the past year.

I've seen how others use them to determine ages of men and possible relationships. I have waited for them to become available online for the Virginia and West Virginia counties I do research in as living in Europe makes it difficult to drop in at the court house or go to the Family History Library. Kudos to you for finding your Thomas Kirk and the associated names in the tax records. Cathy Meder-Dempseyhttps://openingdoorsinbrickwalls.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
