Lists about 2500 books found in major libraries throughout the U. S. containing genealogies of families from Virginia and West Virginia. The books listed deal with families of Virginia origins but often follow their descendants far and wide across the continent. Each book is listed under the surname of the primary Virginia family covered in it. Many of the titles listed deal with several families, not all of which may have Virginia roots. Citations to all these allied families are listed in a cross-reference table, regardless of the geographic focus of the family, making this bibliography of use to researchers with interests outside Virginia also.

Ellen (Stackhouse) Cowgill (b.ca. 1636) was a daughter of Thomas and Anna Stackhouse of Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. No record of Ellen's husband has been found (apparently he died before 1682). She and her five children (3 boys, 2 girls) immigrated in 1682 to Philadelphia, traveling with her brother Thomas Stackhouse and his family. Descendants and relatives of Ellen lived in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and elsewhere.
