Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a story with you all. My mom was born in Raleigh County, and grew up in Fayette County until she was 15. She was raised by her step-grandmother, who changed her name, and kept her away from her siblings. My cousin found my website on the internet last summer and we all got together on Labor Day weekend. The story of the reunion was in the Beckley paper yesterday. The link to the story online is below. Those of you who have access to the newspaper, they also included a photogreaph of my mom and her sisters in the print version. The link is long, and I'm not sure if it will be put on two lines when this comes to the list. If the url is sepated, you may have to copy and paste both lines into your browser to make it work! http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=2434864&BRD=2086&PAG=461& dept_id=348406&rfi=8 -- Cherie Atkinson Clark [email protected] http://members.aol.com/chersfmly/ Looking for ATKINSON in Ohio Co WV and Washington Co PA, FIFE in Allegheny and Washington Co PA, KIMMINS (or KIMMONS) in Ohio and Marshall Co WV and Washington Co PA, SKILES in Washington Co PA, TOLBERT in Carroll Co VA and Raleigh and Fayette Co WV, WEBB in Carroll Co VA, McDAID in Washington Co PA and Marshall Co WV, WOLFE in Greene Co and Washington Co PA, FARIS in Ohio Co WV and Delaware Co OH, McCONNELL in Allegheny Co PA, MORROW in Allegheny Co PA, SUPLER in Washington Co and Greene Co PA, and way too many associated families to list! **There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.** (Hodding Carter)
