Welcome!

Welcome to the new Fairfax County VAGenweb page. I am endeavoring to bring you useful genealogical information about the area. However, I live out of state, and don't have much in terms of the ability to go to the city to obtain information to add to the page. That said, this website depends LARGELY on submitters. If you are looking for info and can't find it here, when you find it, please submit it! We really need your information. I do add information that I acquire, but it is as I can get to it, and I can't go do lookups for you.

This website thrives based on input suggestions and submissions from readers like you! Please please please Email any comments, questions, or suggestions to me at EmbryProject@gmail.com (and because I do run more than one site, please specify it is for Fairfax County in the subject line).
