Information on George R.
Thompson, his father, Archibald Wyatt Thompson of Louisa County, and
others was submitted by Ken Thompson.
Thanks to the efforts of the Louisa County Historical Society, I
have now included almost 5,000 tombstone transcriptions from over 50
churches and family cemeteries in Louisa County. There is a master
index of all names, plus pages for each cemetery, both of which provide
a link to a photograph of the tombstone. Oakland Cemetery and
First Baptist Church still need to be transcribed, plus a few other
minor problems may exist.

Evolution of this
website
Way back in March/April of 1996 the GenWeb project was
getting started. The goal was to have every county in every state
hosted by a volunteer and they provide a website that would be available
for researchers. Then in June of 1996, Linda Lewis, who was the
state coordinator for Virginia, posted a message asking for volunteers
for each of the counties in Virginia. At that time, only four
counties were spoken for (Brunswick, Lee, Lunenburg, Scott & Russell).
I quickly volunteered, and by July 10th, had obtained
a website (www.trevilians.com) from a hosting company named Hiway
Technologies, Inc in Florida. After I had the website, I fired off
the following email to Linda: " I am eager to race off at full
speed -- just don't know where to!!" How true!!
Internet? webpages? HTML? sounds kinda like "Lions, Tigers and Bears!
Oh My!"
In one exchange, discussing how much space was needed,
Linda replied "TWO MEGS is plenty. I have the VA page, all the VA
counties that I coordinate, and another project totally unrelated to
genealogy, on my one meg page with Compuserve". Hmmm, times
have sure changed -- the Louisa site now takes up almost 700MB (as of
December, 2007).
