Genealogical Books in Print

Free surname printouts of taxpayers!

We will provide you, free of charge, one surname printout (one time only). [A stamped, self-addressed envelope is the only requirement; common names require 63 cents postage.] This printout gives you names, and the counties of residence, of all taxpayers* of the surname of your choice who were living in Virginia in 1787 , which includes all counties now in West Virginia and Kentucky.

*Taxpayers were all white males over the age of twenty-one (not just the heads of household) and any female who owned taxable property.

Additional printouts are $5.00 each (or) you will be entitled to an additional FREE printout for each $5.00 of your order when you purchase one or more of the individual 1787 Census of Virginia county booklets.

You will receive all variations of the surname that we can find. If you know of unusual variations, let us know so we can include them.

The third column shows the county and commissioner list in which the person resided. Many times you will be able to identify the county by the three letters; a sheet will accompany your printout, however, which will identify questionable ones.

The letter following the county shows which list the ancestor appeared in. In counties where there was a large population, or a large area to be covered, there would be two or three tax commissioners. All the lists pertaining to the county are in one booklet.

Knowing that two people were in the same list may be of great importance. Of even more value is a breakdown of the dates on which the tax commission called on each individual. This is provided in the individual booklets, but not in the 3-volume set. The law that provided for the 1787 Tax to be taken specifically stated that the commissioners were to "call on the taxpayers" and get a list of their property from them. The commissioner could not cover many households in a day, so if two people were called on the same day, you will know they lived close to one another.
