Dear Logan County, West Virginia Cousins and Genealogist, There is a ton of information on this web site for our families. If you have not checked out your families you are really missing out. Yes they are frustrating - but they are wonderful http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx So far I have extracted the following Toler Wyoming Toler Logan Toler Boone Burgess Logan Burgess Cabell Burgess Mingo Burgess Boone Burgess Wyoming Burgess Kanawha (working on this) Burgess Greenbrier There will be a ton of related families as I check out collateral lines who maiden names of people who married into my families. There are a ton of people who were born in the 1850 time period whose death records and the names of their parents are appearing on these death certificates. To be able to view and print these death records is huge! I am filling in so many gaps and questions that it is unbelievable. I am more convinced than ever before that with all of the information that is available we can really clean up our South West Virginia families. May I encourage you to update your direct line families with these records? For those of you who consider yourselves genealogist jump into these records they are fabulous, interesting, encouraging and maddening! I just crossed over 7,000 Burgess descendants - thought that I would never reach that. I am really excited. My Toler file is just over 6,600 descendants. I cannot believe how many Toler descendants there are. Everywhere I look there are more Tolers. These death records are terrific for documentation - confirming and finding unknown surnames. They are wonderful. Still mad over what mining has done to our families and West Virgina! No one in Arizona cares so I have to spout off to you guys! thanks Jim Burgess

Jim, I've been working on and off on the Curry's though I know it's far from done.
