Since our Heritage Center has opened, we have received many wonderful contributions of research. The photo above is of some of the notebooks filled with research we received from Nancy Branner Stewart. This is an extensive collection of African American history in Shenandoah County, Virginia. With this research we will be able to help many many families learn more about their ancestors.
