The MilesFiles, Version 11.0, March 2011
The Miles Files, Version 11, March 2011, contains over 60,000 names from the Eastern Shore counties of Accomack and Northampton, Virginia and Worcester and Somerset, Maryland. It also includes the first 6 generations of descent of the First Families of Virginia from the Jamestown era (listed in the Muster of 1624/5) that settled in these four Eastern Shore counties. These individuals can easily be identified by the numbers placed in parentheses "(--)" between their given name and surname, which are the numbers used by John Frederick Dorman in the 3 volume set of Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5, 4th Edition, 2004-2007, published by the Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, Baltimore, MD, in collaboration with the Order of First Families of Virginia. There are about 3,600 persons so identified.
The information is organized with links from generation to generation, complete with source notes and an every name index. Your web browser will give you the ability to view the entire file, including the master index, surname index, family information, sources and pop up 3-generation pedigrees for each individual in a hypertext format. By simply clicking on underlined names or text you can jump from person to person, generation to generation, to the families of the spouses, to the sources of information, or to the name index. This ability to navigate through the large amounts of information presented makes it easy to understand not only individual relationships and their direct ancestors, but the interrelationships between the many families presented. It is estimated that a full paper version of these files would be over 25,000 pages.
Living individuals are not shown here.
