Maternal surnames were preserved as \u201cfirst\u201d names. Grandparents and, sometimes, rather pointedly, wealthy aunts and uncles were remembered in succeeding generations. These practices frequently give valuable clues to family connections. Often, they also result in multiple individuals with the same name, living concurrently in the same county. This can be maddening for researchers. As time passes, biographies become conflated, and genealogists can spend years untangling crisscrossing lives.<\/em><em>\u2026<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">For the rest of this article, and several\u00a0others, CVGA members should go to\u00a0<strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">\u201cMembers Only\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on the menu bar above, and choose<strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">\u00a0\u201cCentral Virginia Heritage \u2014 Current Issue.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(Note: You have to be logged in to this website in order to see \u201cMembers Only.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">For those who are not members<\/strong>, we offer the opportunity to purchase a printed copy of each issue.
