RE: Church info Look in the library Mann room at the "Works Progess " Book on Franklin County Churches. I have found info their that I could find no where elese. Good luck. Donna ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Does anyone have any information on a Mountain View Church that used to be on Foothills Road, near Callaway? You can email me directly at beverlym@swva.net Thanks, Beverly

Rootsweb is the standard Franklin County site and should be considered the mainstay of county level information. Our website, "Franklin County Virginia's Genealogy", http://www.franklincountyvagenealogy.com/ is an informal site where one can find what is available from Beverly Merrit along with a casual mix of donated info. My goal will be to post my personal collection of deeds and assorted records; more of a family level. Anyone who has something that they feel does not quite fit into the county level is welcome to send it along to me and I'll update the site about once a month.

Maybe this will spark a new interest in at least preserving the information in the old cemeteries before they are all destroyed by developers. Many rural areas are being quietly bought up these developers and cleared of everything, trees, old houses and cemeteries. I've been working on another cemetery book but I can't begin to visit all of the areas of the county that haven't been covered. If anyone has any information to include I will be more than happy to give you credit for the information gathered.
