In order to avoid hurt feelings, etc. regarding this topic, I propose that you all help me find my long lost, long dead relatives and then I won't have to feel as if I am an alien anymore! ;-) I'm looking for Mitchener; Mitchenor; or whatever derivation of the spelling might be out there. Most specifically a John Mitchenor who was warranted land some where in this part of what is now WVA. I thank you all for your help. Peggy
