  1. There are several ways to get copies of articles.
    (1) Ask a reference librarian at your public library to obtain a copy. They might be able to get it on interlibrary loan or ask another library that has a copy to send a photocopy.
    (2) The Allen County Public Library (Indiana) has an Article Fulfillment service by which you can order a copy from them. Go to http://www.genealogycenter.org/services.aspx
    (3) The Virginia Genealogical Society is the publisher of The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy – you can contact them. See information here: https://www.vgs.org

    The article you reference is not one of mine so I don’t have a copy. Sorry.

    Good luck!

  2. How can I obtain a copy of “James Allen Families of early Augusta County-a Fresh Look at the Records” found in Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Vol 42, Number 1, February 2004??? All the above seem to be a later date. Thanks.
