Does anyone have any information on Company F., P.H.B., Maryland Volunteer Infantry (websites, etc.?). I think they were Union. I know that my G-G-Grandaddy mustered out in Cumberland, MD. Thank you, Susan Henry Stokes

Janie, The best place to start is with your parents, then grandparents - working your way back. Make lists of missing people and start searching the counties of the states where they were born. Social Security Death Index is super for giving you birth and death information. Post the names you need info on several web sites - every web site has a posting board. People will respond - guaranteed! Hope this helps. Mary

Your right you can never go wrong with help from WV. I have never had a bad deal from any of the folks out there. I looked for my gmother for years till by mistake I called the court house on a Sat. And now retired Mrs.Staggs took the time from her work and in min. found her for me. Under her real name. WVA is one graet state for workers to take the time to help. May God bless all of them for there kindness. REDDS

Hello List, My husband and I just returned from a two-day West Virginia trip which included primarily Keyser, New Creek, Burlington & Petersburg (where I was born) looking up information on my Likens/Likins ancestors. This was our very first genealogy expedition and were unsure about beginning our journey, so we asked a lot of questions along the way. At the court house in Keyser we met Anita Johnson who was kind enough to make copies of several birth and death certificates (a whopping' $1.50 each mind you!), and she showed us where and how to look up our family. What a sweet lady and we never had a chance to tell her thank you! If any of you run into Anita please tell her thanks a million for us! We stopped in Burlington for breakfast the following morning on our way to Petersburg. Several of our relatives lived in Burlington for years and wanted to check out a few of the cemeteries there. We stopped for gas at the B&P Gas Station and Cafe there and ran into some extra special people. In addition to one of the most helpful waitresses we have ever met, and an outstanding breakfast of double-yoked eggs, bacon and trimmings fixed to perfection, we were introduced to a tall elderly gentleman by the name of Bill Funderberg who not only gave us directions to several cemeteries -- he knew several of my relatives and knew where many of them were buried. (We came home with over 25 pictures of gravestones thanks to Bill!) So if you are searching for information on some of the old-timers of the surrounding Mineral counties, you can't go wrong stopping in at the B&P. You will get much more than your monies worth -- a heaping helping of West Virginia hospitality. Many thanks B&P. We definitely will be stopping by our next trip through town. I emailed a copy of some of our ancestors to Patti for the Mineral County Page. I sure hope someone can help identify the people in the picture. It is a great picture sent to me by a cousin who found me on the Mineral Co. Web pages :-) He sent me several pictures - treasures everyone! Just wanted to pass along this good news and express our thanks to everyone. Mary Quigley ancestor of James David Likens/researching Lenore-Likens/Likins-Iser-Weiseman-Sellaro-Daidone [email protected]

Shore would have helped if you added his name. E-mail me privately if you want and I will get you the info you ask for. REDDS

Sharon, I would like to take you up on your kind offer and ask if you would look in, "West Virginia Estate Settlements, An Index to Wills, Inventories, Appraisements, Land Grants, and Surveys to 1850", for Peter McDonald/ McDaniel/ McDougall. He was in the 1820 census, but not found in the 1830 census. Thank you in advance for your help.

RIGGLEMAN / ARONHALT FAMILY If you have access to the WV TTT, I'd very much appreciate a lookup. I'm seeking info pertaining the Aronhalt family. When in Moorefield several weeks ago for a family reunion, I discovered another Aronhalt connection a book on the Riggleman Family at Moorefield's fine genealogy library. In such book was: Abraham Lincoln Riggleman (b. 1867) md Lucinda Aronhalt. One child. Isaac Riggleman (b. 1870) md Kate Aronhalt. (A railroad worker, Isaac is reported to have died abt. 1901 after being run over by a train). These Riggleman brothers were sons of Jacob Riggleman and Margaret Champ. The gals they married were sisters and the children of Andrew and Eliza (Evans) Aronhalt. Is anyone on the List familiar with this Riggleman line? If so, I'd love to hear from you!!!! Thanks, Carolyn
