Here listed in no particular order are some of the most useful resources I have used in my research to find, document and link as many Caroline ancestors as possible. My goal is to find a place for all the deceased whose obituaries were published in the Caroline Progress from 1919 to the present. For every additional name I put in the Family Tree Maker, I reference that name to Herb Collins' obituary compilations and tombstone transcriptions from all public and private Caroline cemeteries. Whenever possible, I also reference the transcribed ancient vital statistics from microfilm in the Virginia State Library.

There are several authors whom I have met personally who have made an invaluable contribution to the organization and preservation of Caroline history. Without their efforts so much of this history would have been forever lost. So much, unfortunately, has already been irretrievably lost as a result of the Civil War when so many of the county records were destroyed in fires in Richmond. Research in Caroline is often frustrating, if not entirely impossible.
