Tod, What do you know about Joseph Stanley? I have an Enoch Stanley, son of Jackson (no dates) born 18 Jun 1846, Jackson Co., VA and died 3 Jan 1913. Enoch was in the Civil War. He is my g-g-grandfather. I know Joseph isn't a brother, but he could be a cousin, ect since I haven't found any info on Jackson yet. Let me know if you know anything or want more details. My other line involved here is Hitchcock. They all end up in Bartholomew County Indiana. Diana > Greetings, > > Looking for relations to the DAVIS family below.

There is a Baltimore county, MD, but it's not in the city limits of Baltimore. Patricia in Baltimore County, MD

Something else to consider is that Virginia is the only state in the country that has independent cities that are NOT part of a county. For example the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area is considered the City of Norfolk, the City of Virginia Beach. Richmond is the City of Richmond - while surrounded by Henrico County. Roanoke today is an independent city. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mdvanpelt@aol.com> To: <VA-Harrison-Monongalia-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 7:24 PM Subject: [VA-Har-Mon] Which county? > Can anyone tell me which county Roanoke is in?

Without changing your subject line to something meaningful it is difficult to answer your question. -----Original Message----- From: atolah@juno.com [mailto:atolah@juno.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 9:21 PM To: VA-Harrison-Monongalia-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VA-Har-Mon] Re: VA-Harrison-Monongalia-D Digest V02 #116 And what's this got to do with genealogy

Michelle that would be in Lewis County, WV Barb Swisher-McCarty Jane Lew, WV

Roanoke, is in Lewis County, due south of Weston.

It is in Lewis County, due south of Weston.

Could you help me out? I see your question just fine, but there is NOTHING else there at all! So what is it that you are asking about?

Roanoke, WV is located in Lewis County, in the district of Collins Settlement. The population is less than 100 and is situated along the West Fork River about 7 miles south of Weston, WV. I hope this helps with your research. Sincerely, Bill Maxwell

Can anyone tell me which county Roanoke is in? I live about two hours away from Roanoke, Virginia, but just recently came across several obits mentioning Roanoke, West Virginia. Thanks. Michele

And what's this got to do with genealogy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who's on First? Yesterday Hu Jintao was named chief of the Communist Party in China. SCENE: The Oval Office, Washington, DC (The President & National Security Advisor are discussing the situation) George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening? Condi: Sir, I have the report about the new leader of China. George: Great. Let's hear it. Condi: Hu is the new leader of China. George: That's what I want to know.

George: The new leader of China. Condi: Hu. George: The Chinaman! Condi: Hu is leading China. George: Now whaddya' asking me for? Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China. George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China? Condi: That's the man's name. George: That's whose name? Condi: Yes. George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China? Condi: Yes sir. George: Yassir? You mean Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East. Condi: That's correct. George: Then who is in China? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir is in China? Condi: No, sir. George: Then who is? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir? Condi: No, sir. George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone. I bet he knows. Condi: Kofi? George: No, thanks. Condi: You want Kofi? George: No. Condi: You don't want Kofi. George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N. Condi: Yes, sir. George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi? George: No, milk! Will you please make the call? Condi: Call who? George: Who is the guy at the U.N? Condi: Hu is the guy in China. George: Will you stay out of China?! Condi: Yes, sir. George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N! Condi: Kofi? George: All right! Light with sugar. Now get on the phone. (Condi picks up the phone.) Condi: Rice here. George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too.

Divorce records are in the Circuit Court Office. I would write the Circuit Clerk, enclose check for copies in case they find something, and ask them to check. I have had good luck doing this type of thing in the past. Jean

I am wondering if anyone has access to court documents for Harrison County. I am looking for divorce information on my g-g grandparents, William P. McBee and Aritha Corbin McBee. They last appear as a married couple in the 1880 census for Barbour County, however William re-married in 1883 in Harrison County so I am looking there too. William and Aritha would have been divorced between 1880 and 1883. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, Jilly ~*~ Open your heart, and your mind, and the rest will follow ~*~

I received this URL from another list. It is a terrific website for viewing VA (including the WV area) maps by census year and for each year when new counties were formed. You can overlay a modern map as well. www.segenealogy.com/virginia/va_maps.htm Enjoy, --Dick Ross
