GFO Virginia Group Meeting, Saturday, September 1, 10:00-12:00.


It's that time again! Come join the Virginia Group for our first fall meeting. Carol Surrency will be speaking about Dunmore's War and we will be planning our fall and winter schedule.

  • Come and learn about Virginia's relationship with Great Britain in the years leading up to the American Revolution.
  • Find out why Dunmore County changed its name and the last colonial governor was chased out of Virginia to live on a ship.
  • Discover how "Dunmore's little war" influenced the Southern campaign during the Revolution impacting Kings Mountain and other major battles.
We meet at the Genealogical Forum of Oregon,
2505 S.E. 11th Ave., Portland , OR, Suite B-18
