Hello Everyone:
I called the library today myself and spoke with a man
there who gave me some more information on this:

Also I have added some internet information that may be of help to some,
however you may already know all of this

For your Research Information for the State of Virginia
Hi Gail & All,
        This is for those who may not know that films from the Archive
Branch of the Virginia State Library and Archive in Richmond can be ordered
through the interlibrary loan at your local Library for FREE. Most Libraries
have film readers which will make  copies.
        The first step is to order, available through interlibrary loan, the
"Miscellaneous Reel #461" which contains a listing of  Microfilmed county
court records, with reel number. To borrow this microfim, contact your local
librarian and request that an American Library Association interlibrary loan
form  Or OCLC be submitted to the  Inter Library Loan Dept. of, The Library
of
Virginia
800 East Broad St., Richmond, VA 23219-3491, with Reel
name and number. I hope this information will be of help. Until next time,
Doris

Using your hometown Librarys' online computer you can do the same thing I
have given here step by step instructions on getting to their site.
****************************************************************
First go to:
http://leo.vsla.edu/   Scroll down to Online Catalogs and Image Databases
and click, this
take you to:
http://leo.vsla.edu/lva/col.html    scroll down to ALL DATABASES and click,
this will
take you To:
http://198.17.62.51/    click on Index to Wills and Administrations
(Torrence)
Next choose a search type  I use Key Word or Phrase
When this opens up type in your surname  given name if known  in this order
and hit
search.
***************************************************************
If your library computer has a tiff viewer (must be like the one at the
Library of Virginia in order to work right) then you can go direct to:
http:\\198.17.62.51\Reel461\
and view it!  Find the reels that you need and have your library place your
order.
For more on the tiff viewer go the the URL listed last and above, there is a
place where you can download it and also information on loading.
Now they use the term attach, but alas I found out you do not attach but
associate it.
To do this:
Right click on my Computer on the desktop, go to explore then at the top
toolbar click on View, then click on options then file types at this box
scroll down to see if tiff is listed.  Next look at the bottom of this same
box and see what it is associated to it should be the name of a tiff file,
the name you gave it when downloading if NOT click on Edit then go down a
bit to the next Edit box and click Edit again then click
brouse and look for your file, highlight it and then exit back out to the
association box, now your file should show up there.  If so then exit out
and start using it.
I sure hope this helps everyone who can't make a trip to VA in person
to locate missing links and branches of their trees!
Good luck everybody,
Gail
