Mike, I haven't done any specific research in WVa, but you might try going to the website of the county where your people are buried. Most of the county GenWeb pages give information on where to obtain needed data. I would look into getting copies of the death certificates for each of them. These documents sometimes give a good deal of information on folks. Good Luck Sallie California "Bowles Michael L. (DEN2MXB)" wrote: > I am very new to tracing my family tree and I have a question..
