The regular meeting of the Harrison County Genealogical Society was held this day, November 1st in the Waldomore at Clarksburg, WV. There were only 9 in attendance today possibly due to the inclement weather. Patricia Dennison gave a report of the workshop which is to be held May 17th; however she does need more volunteers to help. She and I did go look at the rooms downstairs of the West Virginia Business College, the old RW High School building, last Wednesday and we were not sure if it has adequate space. Patricia is going to look at the Gaston Caperton Center, the new Fairmont State College Building, on West Main Street of Clarksburg this coming Monday. We need a location before we can make any definite plans. The next planning meeting for the workshop will be held on Saturday, November 23rd in the Waldomore, Clarksburg, WV at 10:00 A.M. Any volunteers to help would be greatly appreciated. Volume #3 of the Duvall book has come in. We bought a book from Blanche Day on the Dr. John Laforge Fitz Randolph family. We are going to order a book by Doris Poinsett on the Lewis and Trundle families from Frederick, Maryland to Harrison County, VA/WV. We are also going to purchase a book on Highway Markers in WV and arranged by county. Should be an interesting book. Also going to purchase the book "From a whirlpool of death....to victory."
