Ex Radicibus Veritas
Truth From the Roots
Discover the families, records, DNA connections, and forgotten stories that shaped Virginia’s founding legacy.
Every family has a story. Every story deserves evidence.
The Society researches founders, descendants, enslaved families, Indigenous heritage, family records, DNA-supported connections, and the overlooked branches of Virginia history.
Our work is built on complete history — not only famous names, but every branch connected to Virginia’s roots.
