Dear Logan County Virginia Genealogist, My computer has been repaired and I am back to work. I have had 552 visits in the last couple of days. First I want to thank every one for the updates on their families. I am now caught up with every update. Cutting and pasting makes updates quick and easy. Also I want to thank everyone for the kind and enthusiastic comments. We are going to have fun with this project. Just a few thoughts - It is very important that we update one family at a time. I am storing the messages under Logan County Recreated and the surname that we are working on. I must file the email and response under the Main surname relating to the family for easy future retrieval. Also I will be able to help people communicate with others working on the same surname. It is very important that members of the list send all the documentation right the first time if possible. So far everyone seems to understand. Also I hope that you will help fill in all of the children in a family. We all know that some of the children move out and start families of their own. It is important that we know where they are going and all the related information. Again I am using the PAF program - I cannot control the references to LDS Sources. For the most part these responses are automatically coming from the program and are not really LDS Sources. I am really enjoying the documentation from other counties. Especially the beautiful Wills, death dates etc. I made the comment that Herndon Murphey did not appear in the 1860. I loved the comment that he did not appear in the 1860 census because he died in 1860. It is true that I have not researched many of these families. As some have said we have to start some where making the corrections. Remember that I have 3500 people that do not appear in the data base - if some one is missing let me know - I probably have them listed and can help you if they lived in Logan County between 1850 and 1860. I look forward to comments from Wyoming County folks whose ancestors are in the 1850 Wyoming County, West Virginia Census. Virginia Surnames is going to be as accurate as we can make it.
