Hi Rick Did you check the late register of births or try the capital where they are all keep. I know that my birth cert is not on file in Harrison Co. Wv. but it is at the state capital. I am not that old, although I may feel old, b. 1950. Just a few different ways to find the records. Nancy

Hello List Members, I went through the Harrison County Birth Registers (Books 7 thru 9) this evening on microfilm looking for Pascuzzi's and Renzelli's born between 1907 and 1916. They were from Grasselli/Anmoore & Clarksburg later on. Didn't find them yet, but I am wondering if births of new Italian immigrants were usually reported to the County near the time of birth, reported later on, or not reported/recorded at all. Interested in similar research. Thanks. Rick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com/

Re: DAR I am a member of DAR and I believe the records are preserved when an application is accepted. for future generations to draw from when applying. Check you phone book for local chapters, of contact the Chamber of Commerce in your area.

Can anyone tell me about the O'Neal Cemetery in Harrison County, WV?? More specifically, the persons I'm looking for are John Boilon/Boilen/Boylen and his wife Jean O'Neal. Or any Boilen variations. Thank you, Crystal cboggs@ncweb.com

Does anyone know if the Clarksburg Chapter of the DAR has a web site. My Mother belongs to it but hasn't attended for quite a few years. She is now 99 yrs old and living with me in Texas. I would like to see if she is still listed , as having been or is a member. I would appreciate any help I can get. Mimi

When I was in Clarksburg, I went to the library first to inquire abt genealogy reference books.

Hi List: I am new to the list. Searching: GAIN, GAINES, GAINS ( and any like). My husband is descended from the MD. Gain Family through Thomas Gain m to Mary Kroh (Crow) of Hanover, Pa.Thomas and Mary were born around 1800. Would like to exchange info with other researchers of this family. I have only found Thomas Gain's name on the death certificate of his son Philip H and an obit in the Baltimore Sun for 1848. I know that many of the Gain families moved from MD to Harrison Co. W.Va. and I am trying to learn how Thomas remained, or came back to MD and also where he and Mary are buried. Willing to share what info I have. Thank you, Mary G

Thanks for your help. I am planning on going to the 74th annual Loughry reunion at Seven Islands, WVA Tucker county in just a few weeks. I hope someone there will be able to further my knowledge on this family. I wish I had more time to spare so I could look around for some records while I am in the great state of West Virginia.

Hello list, I have written in the past about trying to find out the ancestry of Daniel Carson Louchery who has a bio on the Harrison co. page. In the article it states his father as Daniel, grandfather as a James William Carson Loughrey who lived in Maryland, and gggrandfather as an old Rev War soldier. I was trying to connect Daniel with my Patrick Loughry (wife Catherine Hickman) who lived in Harrison county in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I believe I have found the James who is the father of Daniel (father of D.C. Louchery). I found that a James Loughrey married a Margaret Kefauver/Keefore in Pa. and that they may have moved to Maryland at some point. They are buried in Fairmont WVA (is that Harrison county?) Here is the cemetery info. They may have had a daughter Eliza as I found the following. District Cemetery Name Birthdate Death Date Rel Kin Survey Date Comment Fairmont Woodlawn James Loughrey - - 1787 01 Jul 1868 Fairmont Woodlawn Margaret Loughrey 07 Feb 1794 27 May 1888 w James Loughrey Name: Louchery, Eliza Birth Date: 1808 Birth Place: Maryland Father's Name: Father owned a farm in Virginia as well Mother's Name: Spouse: Joseph Whetstone Marriage Date: 1824 Marriage Place: Fayette co., PA Children: John and eleven others Date of Death: 1874 Place of Death: Fayette co., PA Some allied names may be Franks and Fleming, too. Since my Patrick born abt. 1765 was the son of John Loughry b. 1737 York co. Pa. John lived in Fayette Pa. at some point. He was a Rev. War soldier. It may be possible that James William Carson Loughry may be Patrick's brother. The original John had brothers James, William, Jeremiah, and Archibald. I don't know where the Carson name came from. John's wife has always been an unknown, it would be great to find out she was a Carson. Is anyone connected to this family? Rebecca Loughry Lucas

Hi, Fairmont, WV is in Marion Co (formed 1842 from parts of Harrison Co & Monongalia Co), so you'd look there for their death certificates. In the Harrison Co WV Death Records I find: Lucy V LOUCHERY age 16yrs born HC d/o D C & Mary C, died 20 Aug 1890 Lloyd LOUGHY age 24yrs born HC, died May 1890, wife Mary V LOUGHY William LOUGHERY age 97yrs born HC died 15 June 1895 - nothing further Robert LOUCHERY age 26y 6m 10d s/o J & H, died 15 Nov 1898 Best regards~~Patti

Nancy Hymes McKane >> To Nancy, I just returned from the Waldomore, home of the Harrison County Gen. Society. While there, I checked the 1950-51 Clarksburg City Directory, where I found a listing for a Mayflower Beer Garden on 429 Baltimore Ave. The Lee Hotel was located at 433-435 Baltimore Ave. They were both across the street from the railroad depot. While Clarksburg no longer has passenger train service, there are some freight trains still running. Neither the Mayflower nor the Lee Hotel are still in existence.

David Houchin runs the Family History Room and can almost write down most family lines from memory.When he really starts digging , he brings out old records out of backrooms and little cubbyholes. When he's not there it's handled by a volunteer. Ed Nutter
