Hello and
welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Isle of Wight County,
Virginia.
Our
goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing
genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use
of all researchers.
This is a continuation of our original, and highly successful,
Genealogy Trails Illinois History and Genealogy Project and we are
excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome
your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. If
you have data that you would like to have posted on this website,
please contact me.
We're
looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and
are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois
websites are. If
you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and instructions on signing up..
If
you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website
updates, subscribe to our mailing lists
You are welcome to browse the
information on these pages and at the many links provided to garner the
data needed to continue your research into your family history.
However, Please remember that this information, in many cases,
represents years of painstaking research on the part of myself, or the
many generous volunteers who have donated their information to this
site. You can show your respect for these efforts by not taking things
to use on other websites and/or to claim as your own. I thank you in
advance for your consideration.

A LITTLE HISTORY ON ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY VA
Shortly after the establishment of the settlement at Jamestown in 1607,
English settlers began populating the areas near Hampton Roads.
In 1608, Captain John Smith went across the James river and traded with
a Native American tribe called Warrosquyoackes. The Virginia
Colony consisted of eight counties by 1634. Originally named
Warrosquyoake Shire, it was renamed Isle of Wight County in 1637.
