About A Son of Virginia

Steve Craig

Virginia Focused Genealogy and History Blogger

Welcome to A Son of Virginia! I am a native-born Virginian whose grandmother’s families both have deep Virginia roots. Having had the good fortune to know all four of my grandparents, I began my family history journey at the age of 11. They appreciated (or put up with) my endless questions about our ancestors. My paternal grandmother Marian Berryman (Rowell) Craig (1914-1979) was from Surry County, and my maternal grandmother Rebecca Blanton (Morris) Eisenbeis (1913-1994) was from Amelia County.

A Son of Virginia is where I use documented storytelling to blog about my ancestor’s lives, families, communities and the times in which they lived. Along the way, I share research techniques and tips so that others may find their own ancestors and learn about their stories.

If you enjoy genealogy and history – or just an interesting story, I invite you to follow my blog.
