The web site for the Rappahannock Regional Library is www.librarypoint.org.
They have their catalog on-line and for $15 (if you're not a Stafford County
resident) you can join the library and get a card, which also gives you
access to some more on-line databases. You'll need a card to access their
Virginia research room (at least that's my understanding), but all of that
information is on their web site. They have a large collection of books for
Stafford, as well as many other Virginia counties, and indexes to vital
records and local newspapers, as well as microfiche for the newspapers (I
don't know if they go back as far as you need, though) and some census and
vital records. The Stafford County courthouse
http://www.co.stafford.va.us/ is also a good place, as well as the local
Family History Center. Their info is

1710 Bragg Road
Fredericksburg, Fredericksburg County, Virginia, United States
Phone: (540) 786-5641
Hours: T, W, 10am-9pm; Th 10am-3pm; Sat 10am-3pm (3rd Sat only).

If you would like maps or other info before your trip, just let me know and
I can get them for you, as I live just north of Stafford.

Also, the National Archives and the DAR library is only about an hour north
of Stafford in DC and is a great place for research, if you have the time.

Hope this helps,
Hollye

Subject: [VASTAFFO-L] Summer research


This summer I will be coming from CA to VA to do research in Stafford
County.
I'd appreciate anyone knowledgeable on the local genealogical resources to
advise me on the location of surviving old records. Are they in the
courthouse, the library, local genealogical/historical society or elsewhere?
I'm interested in pre-1800 to about 1815. I'm interested in Bartlett Mason;
Nimrod Mason and his probable father, Lewis or Louis Mason. Lewis may be
the
son of John who is the son of William Mason. I have about 3 days to spend
on
site.
I thank the list.
