    3. You have ancestors in sw Ohio that are supposed to be 'born Virginia" . And you are stuck there. 1st,and most important,Wv was cut from Va in 1863,years after sw Ohio was pioneered. 2nd,the northern counties of Va and WV touching on the Potomac ,and much of the northern Shenadoah Valley were settled mostly from the drains of the Deleware River, not tidewater Va. 3rd, like many families show up on both the Ohio and Kentucky banks of the Ohio River, so do Va,and Md families show up on both banks of the Potomac. 4th,the Civil war destroyed many Va records,but Va is one of the best states for posting records on-line. Computer's acting up. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access! Try it today - there's no risk!
