Sharon, Thank you for your inquiry about the Castle Family of Russell Co. below. Castle is a historic family in SW VA, especially Russell Co. VA, so the odds are very high that Walter G. Castle for whom you are searching is related to all the others. I am not a Castle descendant or researcher and do not have more than what you see in the database at www.jessee.org, but I believe that if you post this inquiry or others on RootsWeb, the Russell Co. VA list who I will copy, you may be able to learn more. Jim -----Original Message----- From: Sharon M.

I am looking for information on a Walter G. Castle born 26 Aug 1893 in VA and died Oct 1976 in Metro Detroit area of Michigan. I have a copy of the 1930 census from Russell Co. VA Castlewood dist where the family lived. Walter is married to Jennie (Jennette on 1930 census) she was born 30 July 1891 in KY and died Sep 1973 in Metro Detroit area of Michigan. The file you have posted is for a William Walter Castle born in 1895. Would these two families be related? Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to give me in this research.
