A Genealogist's Refresher Course is less a how-to book than a collection of first-hand experiences, do's and don'ts, and privileged information. One of the most valuable chapters in the book contains a list of nearly 100 different kinds of sources of genealogical information, including anniversary announcements, bank statements, business licenses, memorial cards, health records, medals, newspaper clippings, subpoenas, and many other record categories that genealogists may fail to consult. Still other chapters discuss how to acquire rare or used books and when and how to hire a professional genealogist. In a word, this is a unique genealogy refresher course!
Thomas Willoughby (1601-1657) immigrated in 1610 from England to what became Elizabeth City County, Virginia, moving about 1635 to Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. His son, Thomas Willoughby II (1632-1672), served as agent in Barbados for Thomas Modyford in the 1650s, and while there became administrator of the estate of Thomas Middleton (his father's nephew), who was a ship captain with holdings in Barbados. Thomas II probably maintained his resident in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, while making extensive visits to Barbados. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere. Includes ancestors (some in the nobility) to 1167 A.D. and earlier.
