Archive Edition / Virginia 1607–1850

Ex Radicibus Veritas

Truth From the Roots

Researching Virginia’s founding families through archives, DNA, lineage proof, historical records, and untold stories.

Our Mission

Preserving Heritage. Discovering Truth.

The Society documents Virginia’s founding families and every branch connected to that history, including descendants, enslaved families, Indigenous heritage, archives, and DNA-supported research.

Instead of a normal section layout, this design uses an editorial archive style with newspaper-like spacing and museum presentation.

“History is not only inherited. It is proven.”

Built for genealogy, DNA research, documents, stories, and future member access.
