There is a new list called WV Pioneers. We see it as supplementary to this list. This list is to promote the preservation and advancement of pioneer family history in an area of East Central West Virginia, including but not limited to Randolph, Webster, Braxton, Nicholas , Harrison and Greenbrier counties. We also welcome participation from the settlers' sources in Virginia, particularly Prince William, Fauquier, Botetourt, Franklin, Montgomery, Culpeper, Rappahanock counties. The principal inter-related families include - but are not limited to - Ham(b)rick, Gregory, Dodrill, Riggleman, Miller, Mollohan, Cogar, Chapman. The three moderators represent all but a couple of these families. Allied families include - but are not limited to: Boggs, Conrad, Cowger, Swecker, Hogan, Hevener, Arthur, Rose, etc. We wanted a list more confined to West Virginia than, say, the Hamrick list so some people on this list don't think we dominate it and, at the same time, wanted to include a number of other, closely related West Virginia families. Also, we wanted a broader geographical sphere than, for example, Webster County alone, though we value that list too. For one thing, this should help reduce cross postings, which have drawn objections from some on the grounds it makes their heads spin. The list will require that the individual researcher cite sources in making postings. If the information is from personal knowledge, death records, birth records, census, published or original documents, military,tax lists, deeds, please say so. We hope we can encourage the sharing of such information -Tressie Nealy (TLNealy@aol.com), and Dan Hamrick (dhamrick@neo.rr.com) two genealogists with years of research and volumes of records, have agreed to help moderate the list and advance the cause of family research. Each of us plans to continue to take part in the individual lists. You must be a subscriber to post to this list.
