Hollis,

I just saw your post -- coincidentally just one day after you say that you were going to be in Norfolk at the court house. Anyway, I live in Norfolk, and I'm the author of the research to which you referred about Amy Valentine and her daughter who was sold into slavery by a Jewish merchant from Norfolk. I'd be delighted to talk to you in much greater detail about all the work I've been doing. Please email me directly (ibstory@exis.net) and feel free to call me directly at 866-855-1272, and you'll either reach me or you'll be able to leave me a message. I am extremely eager to talk to you!
