Lineage

I have written it in several articles, but it is worth writing again—documenting one’s lineage is not a linear process. My articles narrate my experience on the genealogical learning curve. I will use this page to group articles to help readers who want to focus on specific families and, when possible, I will try to put them in chronological order.

This series of articles explores Nansemond ancestry:

• The Nansemond of the Great Dismal
• Ethnogenesis in the Great Dismal: The Trummell Family

• The Nansemond Homestead at Deep Creek
