About Rappahannock CountyRappahannock County is located at the foot of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, and our ancestors found it's picturesque rolling hills well suited to agricultural use, the principal industry. Today, more than forty percent of the county's 267 square miles is listed as farm land. |
Note: Modern Rappahannock County should not be confused with the now extinct (Old) Rappahannock County from the 17th century. That area is now covered by Essex and Richmond Counties. Please use those county web sites to research and post questions about that time period.

Post a Query or Join a Mailing List
Two resources at Rootsweb that will greatly facilitate your genealogical research are the Message Board and the Mailing List.
The Message Board is a good place for posting a note that a large number of people might see and respond to over a long period of time. The Mailing List, however, is an e-mail list for genealogical research in the area. It is for more in-depth discussions and longer posts than you might see on the Message Board, and it is a method of assuring that a dedicated group of list members will be sure to receive your note as an e-mail message. It then provides a platform for the exchange of ideas, information and comments, all by e-mail. The Mailing List is spam and virus-free, because all posts are filtered through Rootsweb servers.
If you use web based mail, both the Message Board and the Mailing List can be accessed on the WWW through your web browser, but the Mailing List needs only your e-mail program. The Mailing List operates in two forms, the Mail mode, and the Digest mode.
Please feel free to search or enter a query for your lines on the Message Board or join the Mailing List, using the boxes below.
Regarding Questions You Might Have .....
The author of this web site, who resides in Tolar, Texas, regrets that due to other commitments, she is unable to respond to unsolicited questions pertaining to your research in this county. She will gladly answer any questions about the site itself, but recommends the query board and mailing list below for all other information you might be seeking.
 Thanks to RootsWeb for providing space for this project. |

About the USGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky
Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be
indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Required elements of a county page included
offering queries and lookups.
This project became known as KyGenWeb.
Within just a few months, most of the Kentucky counties had a volunteer coordinator, and it was decided to expand the project to include Virginia and the other states... and USGenWeb was born, and a short time later WorldGenWeb.
Today, over eight years later, it is easier than ever to research your family while sitting at your computer at home.
