Here are some books I have in my posession that relate to life in western Loudoun County. Many of these have information that pertains to my Steer Family. I bought these over the years while attending the annual Waterford Homes Tours and Crafts Exhibit. Some of these may be sold through The Waterford Foundation. I'll try and find out if any of these are available on-line, if so I'll probably create a page in The Steer Genealogy section of the website directing viewers on how to purchase these. But for now, here's the list:
