The following two messages comes from Charleen: OH! You will have fun with this information if you are wanting to know more about our ancestors. Monongalia County is just below the Greene County, PA area. The County once in its early years encompassed many other adjoining West Virginia Counties. http://www.wvgenweb.org/monongalia/lookups.htm A second e-mail will be sent to tell you of the new coordinator; he lists those looker-uppers whose e-mails no longer work. Good huntin' Charleen --------------------------- This was received from the new Monongalia, WV Web site coordinator. ****************************************************** Hello to the list I have taken over the volunteer responsibilty to coordinate the Monongalia County WVGenWeb site. 1. The pages have been updated and format changed after a dormant period. 2. Some of the Look Up Volunteer email addresses are not active ( http://www.wvgenweb.org/monongalia/lookups.htm ). Replacements are needed unless these folks are monitoring this list and can get back to me. If you know them or are able to do lookups yourself, please let me know. Nonactive emails include those for: Jonni Longstaffe Betty B. Card Cindy Crawford Billie Lovett, Kathleen Rogers Lovett Norris Taylor Anyone with addtional resources who can volunteer to help others out are invited to let me know. 3. There is an interactive calendar on the website on which you can post reunions workshops and other such events for anyting having to do with WV Family History. 4. I would like to work towards having a team approach to Monongalia Website which is one of the most important and also one of the hardest hit by the loss of early records. If you have any skills or knowledge relevant to Monongalia County people and history such as one particular district or township or historical era and can volunteer some time to compile information about that area, please let me know as well. I must admit as well that I have collateral and distant lines from Monongalia County; but my direct liens were mostly from other counties to the south. All of our successes will be greater if we share inforamtion about connections and when we research a source of information and can provide information found there of other families, then we can all easliy add free information online to help each other out, a little at time or more. Remember Monongalia County does not have a genealogial Society, we are it. Best regards Paul Pettit Monongalia Co WVGenWeb Coordinator
