I would like to thank all that responded you my request for help. The first city was Rural Retreat in Wythe Co., and the second was Glen Lyn in Giles Co. In 1935 my gr gr gr uncle died in Glen-Lyn. He was a brakeman for the railroad and apparently fell off the train and it ran him over. Anyone remember this? Angela

Angela, These names are probably Rural Retreat and Glen Lyn. Rural Retreat is in Wythe Co., VA, very close to interstate 81, just a little east of the Wythe/Smyth County line. Glen Lyn is in Giles Co., VA, just a stone's throw from the Mercer Co., WV line, situated on the New River & highway 460. There is a dam there named the Glen Lyn Flyash Dam. Hope this helps!

Hello: I am looking for the names of 2 locations but I can not read all the letters. Ru_al Retreat _l_u Lyn (first letter could be a "G","L" "S" or "C". They are located in or near Pulaski County. The second was a place were the railroad ran back in 1935. Please help!!!!! Angela

Hello Does anyone have the names of the parents of Ann Beckett, wife of William Curtis Walters and mother to Sarah J. Walters? I have the date of marriage as 7 Dec 1930 in Montgomery Co. If anyone is going to the courthouse I would love to find out if the names of Ann's parents are on the marriage license or bond. Thanks.

Charlotte Wickline asked: >Can anyone tell me the name & address of a company that can >bring out old writing to where it is readable? Not knowing where you live, let me suggest some more general methods--high tech, low tech, no tech. I assume that the problem is with viewing faint/faded ink, and not a problem of understanding the handwriting. 1. Try xeroxing it at different settings to see if you can increase the contrast. 2. Try viewing it through sheets of colored, but transparent, plastic (yellows and oranges often work well). Look for those clear plastic "report covers" sold in the drug store. I've also seen people use this trick to view hard-to-read microfilm. 3. Get a photostat (high-contrast) copy made (the places that copied blueprints used to make photostats), or go to a professional photographer to have it photographed in black & white, then printed on high-contrast paper. (Obviously, tell them that the purpose of the copy is to bring out the faded ink. They may have other suggestions. Call ahead to make an appointment so you can have your document copied while-you-wait. NEVER, EVER LEAVE AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT BEHIND TO BE PICKED UP LATER!) 4. Try viewing it under an ultraviolet ("black") light. Stamp collectors (and the shops that sell stamps) often have a combination magnifying glass/uv light, which they use to read cancellation marks. This method can be especially good for reading faded ink on parchment/vellum (which is animal skin, not paper). Long-term exposure to uv light will heighten the fading, so only do this long enough to read/transcribe/photograph the document. 5. Have someone scan the document, and then use image-editing software to manipulate the image (heighten contrast, try different color settings, etc.). Best, Karen Stuart
