I found a great Boone County Genealogy Site: http://65.10.15.149/FreeGen/Home.html They will be adding over 1 billion names to their online database over the next few months.

Thanks to Jim and Dave I now know that Ohela was at one-time Comfort in Boone County and that Ohley is in Kanawha County over by Cabin Creek. Thanks for the help.

Need help in locating the correct spelling and location of these two areas in Boone County; Ohela and Ohley I have found them with both spellings on some Cooper/Massey/Scott genealogy records. You can e-mail me at edlong29@hotmail.com 'if you wish'.

Hi Kristal, I don't have direct information for you at this time. But while I'm meandering though what I have you might want to check these links: http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/brookwm.htm http://home.fda.net/bbrooks/public_html/brooks.htm Janet Hager has done Brooks research as well. She may have published some of her research in the Kith and Kin. I will get back with you on this if someone else does not respond on the list.

I am the daughter of Raymond McDilda, Jr.; grandfather, Raymond McDilda, Sr., don't know my grandmother's name. I have no information other than this.

I'm looking for information on Emily Alice Holley, who married Andrew Lovejoy.They were married in the 1800's.Grandma Alice married A Black when grandpa Andy passed away. She lived into her 104th year. I believe she passed away in 1952. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Please e-mail me at ANEW407981@AOL.com.Thanks in advance! Anita

Judy, Thanks for the message. It turns out that the family information was incorrect. Lacy R. Brooks died in a mine within five miles of where I live right now. He had a brother living in Upshur County. He was accidentally electrocuted in a mine in 1911, not 1910. He was buried in Southern Upshur County, and his brother and sister-in-law buried beside him. Strange how things turn out. I tracked him down in a book at West Virginia University WV and Regional History Collection. The book is a compilation of mine fatalities in the state. Ralph

Hello, I have Brooks in my family but I did not read the origional question. What was the query about the BROOKS family? There is an organized group of Brooks researchers and a "Brooks Historian" newsletter. If your Brooks are not related to mine I can give you resources to help find the answer and you will also learn about the hertiage of the Brooks family as a whole. Myra E.
