Posted on: Hancock County, WV Query And Surname Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hancock/418 Surname: Crist, christ, crist ------------------------- Thanks Kim, I'm working on DOCUMENTATION too, hence the attempt to find out if this "posted" info is real. The census from Hancock (Eagle) 1850 for Crist, William is the only census info that I found for Crist so I'm curious to see if it actually exists. I have tried S&K census but they do not have this year available as of the present, and I have had no luck finding it anywhere else so far. As far as early "in-laws", until I am able to find a last name for my Elizabeth (wife of William CRIST b. 1818) I'm stuck with the spouses of their children. All of which, I have beaten to death, trying to get location history for. Thank you for all of your very good suggestions. They are greatly appreciated. The following names are related to MY Crist/Criss/Christ family, but so far I have only found them in Wood & Wirt Co., WV from 1870-1900's. *=Those who actually married William and Elizabeth's children: Arthur, Bates, Bostic, *Bumgardner, Chevoront, *Copen, Collins, *Flesher, *Jenkins, *Harding, *Kidd, *Leasure *Ledsome, Merrill, Nash, *Nicholson, Parrish, Sharp, Saurborn, Villers, Watson, White, Williams, Wolfe....
