About 6 weeks ago I requested anyone on this list to suggest locations to reseach for my trip to WV, mainly in Ohio and Marshall Counties. I received a number of suggestions. This is a short report for others who are planning a trip to this area. The Wheeling Room at the Ohio Co. library - plan to spend at least a full day, if not 2 days. I had been there before, but still found information taking up a day of research. The volunteers are great. Ohio Co. Court House - the Clerk's office is super. Copies of ALL the old records are there. And in such usable form. Index of birth, marriage and deaths lead to the real paper work. Land deeds, wills, court cases - all just waiting for you. When we had spent almost 2 days in that office, I asked the Clerk if there was anything we had missed, and she came up with more goodies. Don't miss out by now asking for help. She even copied addresses for me of other places in the state to research, i. e. Colsom Hall in Morgantown and Archives in Charleston. Went down to Moundsville (Marshall Co.) and even though the library was closed for the 2 days we were there, the court house - again ask - is full of records since the county was divided from Ohio Co. Great source of birth, marriage, death, wills, land records, etc. Then headed to Colsom Hall in Morgantown. We stopped at the college vistor's center and they provided a parking pass for the next day. Parked at the bottom of the hill behind Colsom Hall. (Parking is the big problem.) This research library is on the 2nd floor, and though we didn't find anything we didn't already have, it would have been a good source of reference material for a one stop trip. Thanks to all who made suggestions, and hope you are all as successful as we felt we were. Beth in FL
