5.0 out of 5 stars I really am pleased with the quality of the text about Jamestown Settlement

I really am pleased with the quality of the text about Jamestown Settlement. I am amazed how Virginia got through the various levels of grave, grave difficulty to become what most folks associate as early Virginia: Williamsburg. Of course, this book has nothing at all to do with Williamsburg. My interest is piqued by both the Parrish Family and the Whitehorne. As a person who loves Genealogy Work I will be going back through this to pluck the relevant information for my trees. Thank goodness for pen and paper and my Open Office. Browsing this source is meaningful and provides a wonderful source for my trees. Ideas for other sources are in this book. I should add that I do thoroughly enjoy Ancestry.com, the Barefoot Genealogy, Newspaper.com...I urge all who are fascinated by their personal history to get on board. Remember that the third reason folks use the Internet is Genealogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars interesting reading
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015

This is an interesting book to read, it is a hard bok to read due to the spelling in the times the book covers. That aside it recounts the horrors of starvation, mismanagement by the governor's one after another in governing the settlements in their charge. It was a time in history we cannot find common ground with. The settlers faced hardship, danger and death from disease, Indians, starvation and the disease that follows poor diet, bad water, harsh winters etc.
They were hardy and determined but still they fell by the score. It makes proud to live in a country started by such men and women on that time.

Being a descendant of Capt. John Smythe, this book was of interest to me. My family has been in Virginia all my life. Reading of the hardships they faced when they came here makes you appreciate our ancestors even more. Some of the things they had to do to survive were disgusting to read about even though I had already heard rumblings of it before. But once you read it & see in print, you can't ever un-forget it. It's etched into the brain. It's an interesting book for anyone to read & learn a bit of history.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2012

I picked up this freebie because I have Virginia ancestors. It was my hope to find them mentioned in this volume. Unfortunately, I didn't, but that doesn't detract from the value of this work. A compilation of early Virginia records, this volume contains reference work that's not easily found elsewhere. My reason for giving this a 3-star instead of a 4-star review was the lack of a Table of Contents. That, alone, would have been a huge help in navigating through the book. For other family researchers, I encourage making liberal use of the Search function - this will be the easiest way to see if your family was mentioned. However, be aware that spellings change over time so search for the surname using a variety of spellings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A volume any serious Colonial Genealogist should have on their shelf

An absolutely must have in the study of Colonial Virginia Genealogy. This book is well written, composed for the professional and amateur researcher, and most certainly a welcome addition in my library. For the student of Jamestown, it is an absolute must. It truly paints a strong picture of the daily struggles in the first colonies. I highly recommend it.

Looking for some information about my ancestors but few records from the first settlers. Most records from later years after the colony was well established. Only for the true historians.

I love this!!! I had a different one from a different company and it started leaking. They sent a new one but had the same problem. Decided I would pay a little more and bought this one. I am very pleased that I made this decision. Everything about this product is spot on. I would buy it again for sure. Highly recommend.
