While researching my family in Jackson County, WV, I noticed that many families moved from WV to the Akron, OH area. Listed below are names from recent Death Notices in the Akron Beacon Journal. I either recognized the surname from my research in WV or the obit states that the person was born in WV. Hopefully, this information will help somebody researching their family. These obits will eventually appear on line at <A HREF="http://www.ohio.com/bj/news/obits.html#search"> http://www.ohio.com/bj/news/obits.html#search</A> In the meantime, if you would like additional information from the Obits, let me know.
