Bev, the SHENANDOAH list covers the counties in the Shenandoah Valley area (Augusta, Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Warren in Virginia and Berkeley, Jefferson in West Virginia). This list was created prior to Rootsweb having lists on another list-serve and eventually became a list through Rootsweb. VASHENAN list began after the SHENANDOAH list was created and is for Shenandoah COUNTY only. All of the Virginia county lists begin with VA. The SHENANDOAH list is not a county list and therefore, does not begin with VA. There are still many people who do not realize there is a list for the Shenandoah Valley area and another list for the county only.
