+In lieu of colonial passenger lists regarding early settlers of Virginia, genealogists must rely on evidence gleaned from a variety of sources to successfully trace immigrant origins.
+Scholarly articles published in ''The American Genealogist'', the ''National Genealogical Society Quarterly'', and ''The Virginia Genealogist'' illustrate strategies that will help Americans trace their colonial Virginia immigrant origins.
+The Prerogative Court of Canterbury in London proved the wills of many residents of Virginia. For access, see&nbsp;[[Virginia Probate Records|Virginia Probate Records]]. Heraldic visitations list some members of prominent English families who crossed the Atlantic. [http://www.pricegen.com/english_genealogy.html Expert Links: English Family History and Genealogy] includes a concise list of visitations available online. Online archive catalogs, such as [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ Access to Archives], can be keyword searched for place names, such as "Virginia" to retrieve manuscripts stored in hundreds of English archives relating to persons and landholdings&nbsp;in this former English colony. These types of records establish links between Virginia residents and England, which can lead researchers back to their specific ancestral English towns, villages, and hamlets.
+The multi-volume ''Calendar of Colonial State Papers Colonial, America, and West Indies'' (1574-1739), which is available for free online (see discussion in&nbsp;[[Virginia Public Records|Virginia Public Records]]), highlights many connections between England and Virginia.

[Identifies many British immigrants living in Charleston during the War of 1812.]
+A standard work on early Virginia immigrants, which includes some passenger lists, is now also widely available on the Internet:
+*Hotten, John Camden. ''The Original Lists of Persons of Quality: Emigrants; Religious Exiles; Political Rebels; Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years; Apprentices; Children Stolen; Maidens Pressed; and Others Who Went from Great Britain to the American Plantations, 1600-1700, with Their Ages, the Localities Where They Formerly Lived in the Mother Country, the Names of the Ships in which They Embarked, and Other Interesting Particulars; from MSS. Preserved in the State Paper Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office, England''. London: the author,&nbsp;1874.

+Brandow published an addendum to Hotten's work:

+Peter Wilson Coldham has published several volumes of English records that identify, among other American immigrants, those destined for Virginia. Many English indentured servants completed labor terms in Virginia. Coldham's works are indexed in Filby's ''Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s'' (digital version at [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=7486 Ancestry] ($)).

+Runaway advertisements for colonial indentured servants often yield immigration data. [http://www2.vcdh.virginia.edu/gos/ The&nbsp;Geography of Slavery&nbsp;in Virginia: Virginia Runaways, Slave Advertisements, Runaway Advertisements]&nbsp;indexes these records (for both white indentured servants and black slaves). These records can also be found in the&nbsp;digitized [http://research.history.org/DigitalLibrary/BrowseVG.cfm ''Virginia Gazette&nbsp;1736-1780''], available online through Colonial Williamsburg.
