Summers 1929

This is a date ordered listing of records for "Edmondson's" in Southwest Virginia, as captured originally by Summers 1929. See Also Notebook:Edmiston, Summers 1929 Name Ordered, for a listing of these same records by given name. NB:The source used to generate the following listing has been found to give both false positive and false negative results. The false negatives were recognized early on and have been largely culled. The false positives are more problematic, and other approaches are being employed to correct this. (See: What are a False Positive and False Negative Results
