Find for the day [and an obituary on the program I was looking for]: “Virginia, African-American Funeral Programs, 1935-2009." Citing Middle Peninsula African-American Genealogical and Historical Society of Virginia (MPAAGHS), Tappahannock, Virginia and Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia. https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1880968

A fantastic reference for evaluating the copyright status of a 'document.'

I just did a look. Findmypast lists the articles, but not the text unless you have a subscription.

Thought you'd like to know.

American Settlements and Migrations: A Primer for Genealogists and Family Historians by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck

A lot of the good things to say about this book revolve around how well the author, Lloyd Bockstruck, knew the area and its history. Known areas contain references for other works to supplement a reader's search. Other states have few notations and may just complement what the reader already knew.
Graphically and grammatically, there are a lot of problems with odd words,  incomplete sentences and sentence justification.
As far as finding what you're looking for, some facts are repeated in multiple states sometimes showing up within a page. It would have been thoughtful to include an index despite the amount of space that it would have involved. The extra sources listed could be included as footnotes which would also make reading the text less complicated.

I'm working on written marriage consents for Richmond County, Va that were in a file [Stored offsite] at the Virginia State Archives. Each one has to be transcribed and prompts new searches and questions.
The one currently being transcribed lists the post master of Ivondale in the county. I went looking for Ivondate and in Wiki found this list of communities.
