I am still in the process of transcribing my two volumes of Myers History of West Virginia in two volumes online to electronic version. At present, I am about 40% finished with 1000 pages approximately. There are MANY surnames (var. spellings) that I have seen on this list already. Below you will find a topic list of the chapters I have completed. I finished one chapter out of order, because I felt it was quite important to many people, and held a great deal of historical information. I will enjoy hearing any feedback you have on my newest project. Please feel free to link to my pages, as always, but I appreciate credit if you can manage it, as this has taken me a great deal of time! Also, please pass this along to any pertinent email groups you belong to, if you feel they may be interested. This is just my own private web site, but I appreciate the publicity!
