Genealogy

I get many requests for information about Pollard genealogy, history and the various Pollards around the world. While I am happy to answer questions by email from long lost cousins and others seeking info, there is much basic information on the web, and in large university libraries.

A few links of use include:

• The John Garland Pollard Wiki at the Swem Library at Williamsburg’s College of William & Mary has information about the archives of my great-grandfather, John Garland Pollard, who was the Dean of the Marshall Wythe School of Government and Citizenship, the predecessor of the Marshall-Wythe School of Law.
• The Library of Virginia holds the official papers relating to Gov. Pollard’s official work.
• I am but a distant relation to the inventor of the term The Lost Cause, Edward A. Pollard. E. A. Pollard was the editor of the Richmond Examiner during the Civil War.
