US Census records
Vital records such as birth, death, and marriage records
Land records
Military records and much more
Can’t make it to the library? Access HeritageQuest Online from home to search unique primary resources, local and family histories and finding aids.
If you have family members who served in the US military, Fold3 Library Edition contains an ever-growing collection of US military records, including the stories, photos and personal documents of service members.
Still have questions? Stop by the reference desk at any Fauquier Public Library location or visit our full listing of genealogy and local history resources online.
