About this site

Quite a few years ago I started a website on Rootsweb that I envisioned as a place where I could put, online, scanned images of our ancestors that were in some way connected to Scott County Virginia. It started out as pictures of people, then quickly evolved with pictures of headstones, scanned documents and family files from many generous contributors.

I wanted to post these images and allow folks to comment on them, to add their knowledge to the pages that featured these pictures. It took me a little while to write the scripts and set things up so this could happen. It was clunky and time consuming and before long, because of the huge response, along with other things that were going on in my life, it became more than I could manage. That was then…

Things have changed quite a bit on the internet. With the advent of blogging and blogging software, what I had envisioned in the beginning is easier than ever to accomplish.

I have imported the information from the old site, and left modified index pages there to redirect all page queries to this site.
