Since many of us have relatives that went to WV and Ohio, below is a site WV has set up. It has been there for a while and it pays to go back often, as they add things. They have limited births right now, I have found quite a few deaths and the marriages have been increased greatly. Sadly, they have little for our neighbor of Ohio county as of yet. I have found a lot of names of children by using the marriage index. Takes time but the some of the newer ones have the parents names. When you go to the site click the words Archives and History at the top of the page. When the next page loads, just scroll down until you see "Births, deaths and marriages" From there you choose the one you want. The use of the "*" for names can work well or even just a last name with a county. If you find a death certificate, it has information that you may not have and it has filled in some blanks for me. You can save all images by right clicking. The marriages are two pages of certificates. Midge http://www.wvculture.org/index.aspx --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
