Donald L. “Don” Wilson, 79, of Manassas, Virginia, passed away on March 6, 2023.

Wilson was the hallmark of The Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center (RELIC), at Bull Run Library and later Central Library of the Prince William Public Libraries, where he was known as the “Tree Doctor” for his extensive knowledge, experience, and patience with helping visitors build their family trees. He was also instrumental in providing research on old houses, cemeteries, events, roads, and local families. He was always up for a new and exciting research project that so many people benefited from.


Obituaries were essential sections of the local newspapers I worked at in Prince William and Stafford counties (both closed, like so many other local newspapers, have over the past 20 years).
