Hi Everyone,
Just a note to let you know that Dale has just uploaded the list of books
that are shelved at the Tri-State Genealogical & Historical Society. I've
lost count of the number of pages, but at last count it was over 30. Many
new books have been added. If you are planning a trip for research, it
might benefit you to have the list ahead of time. There are many books on
OH, WV, PA and several on other states. For those of you who do not want
to print or save it from the site, let me know and I
Hi Everyone,
With the list subscribers and the digest subscribers, we have grown to 120

Perhaps it is time that we all introduce ourselves again and post the
surnames that we are working on.
Also, if you have any suggestions for information that you would like to
see added to the Hancock County WVGenWeb site, I am all ears.
The 1860 Hancock County Census is now available from the Tri-State
Genealogical & Historical Society. The

Hi Janet.
Looks like you have been very busy lately. Every time I start surfing the
net in
the genealogy area, there you are.
Anyway, I thought maybe perhaps your other followers and organizations you
contribute to would be interested in this tidbit:

I'm looking for info on the Ralston families 1770-1925 in Ohio, Brooke,
Hancock counties VA/WV & Washington Co PA. I Would love to learn more
about the surnames that married into the family and find some new

Greetings, List Members!

These medals were authorized by the state of WV in 1866, to honor soldiers
who served in WV military units. Approximately 4000 remain unclaimed.
I have seen other references to these medals, bu
