''Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography'' by Lyon Gardiner Tyler {{FHL|68071|item|disp=FHL book 975.5 D3tL, 5 vols.}} (New York: Lewis Historical Pub., 1915). Includes multi-generation family histories. The first three volumes contain a small paragraph of some of the founders, colonial presidents and governors, colonial councilors of state, and burgesses, those elected to political positions and other prominent persons and their involvement in the political climate of Virginia. There is contained in some these short bios more personal information about the individuals, so they are worth a search. The last two volumes of this series are biographies of prominent people who lived in Virginia at one time or another. An index is included in the volume five, but it is not an every name index.

''Weevils in the Wheat; Interviews with Virginia Ex-Slaves,'' edited by Charles L. Perdue, Jr., Thomas E. Barden, and Robert K. Phillips, is an interesting book. It is a compilation of interviews of ex-slaves from the state of Virginia. | Since slavery was well established in Virginia pre Civil War, the use of compiled regarding these people may be very useful in doing Virginia research.
