    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Dz.2ADEAE/59.1 Message Board Post: McComas and Harless are both common names in West Virginia. Since there are no overall lists or registration of cemeteries in West Virginia, you need to determine the most likely county where each person would have been buried. If you do not have death records, find them in the census and check sources for the county where you last find the family living. Some historical/genealogical societies have produced cemetery inventory books, and many will respond to written requests for assistance. You can locate WV societies on the WV Archives and History Web site at http://www.wvculture.org/history . You can also try locating a currently operating funeral home in the area through directory/yellow pages assistance. Good luck in your search.
