Hi Marian, I went to school in Keyser with a Mary Foster who always said she was part indian, I think Cherokee, but that was a good many years ago (the 60's and 70's) and my memory about the tribe may be faulty. Any way, she graduated with me in 1976. Her full name was Mary Sue Foster. Patti probably remembers her too. I don't know if she is still in Keyser or not. I have her picture in my yearbooks and she certainly looks like she has indian in her. Hope this helps.

I would like to know if there was ever a tribe called Lanope in Mineral County. I hope I spelled that right. As I think that may be the tribe in our Foster line. I would like to know more about Mary. Is she on line do you or Patti know? Think our FOSTER'S started out in Elk Garden or Moorefield and then one that I know of got married in Keyser. Her name was Sallie Carrie FOSTER.

The last time I talked to Mary, which has been quite a while back, she was married (not sure last name now) and she and her husband owned or managed the New Creek Market. It's been a while, so I'm not sure if all that information is up to date.

The window of privacy on census records is 72 years, and the 1930 Census is due to be released to the public in the year 2002. Aside from census records being available at some larger city libraries and from Family History Centers, you can rent them from the National Archives. You can get details on National Archives rental at their web site.

The National Archives also has the census available on microfilm. There are several regional facilities maybe your close to one. Your local library should be able to do an inter-library transfer. ....Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: The Ellis Family <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 8:36 AM Subject: Re: [WVMINERA] Census Records > The census records are available only up through 1920, as there's a 70-year > window of privacy.

The census records are available only up through 1920, as there's a 70-year window of privacy. The 1930 census is due out in a couple of years I think. The best place to find the census on microfilm is through the Family History Centers operated by the Mormon Library. The larger History Centers have all the microfilms right there. But any Mormon Church you contact that is the "STAKE" for that area can order them for you also, although you pay a small fee and the use is free at the larger FHCs. Here is the website, and I think if you check it, somewhere there is a listing of their FHCs. http://www.familysearch.org/ Carol in Northridge, CA ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 5:13 AM Subject: [WVMINERA] Census Records > Does anyone know where I can find the 1900 - 1950 census records for Mineral > and surroinding Counties.

I am wondering if anyone knows the name a a little Italian Villiage in WVA. I am looking for the name and the county. THanks Kim

Only census records thru 1920 are public. 1900-1920 are available in many libraries or Family History Centers. You can also purchase them on CD's. - --------------------------------------------------- Bill Pyles, Titusville, FL --New e-mail address: [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 8:13 AM Subject: [WVMINERA] Census Records > Does anyone know where I can find the 1900 - 1950 census records for Mineral > and surroinding Counties.

Good Morning :) I have just added the May 12, 1911 News Tribune Articles to the Mineral County USGenWeb Page. You can view these articles at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/keynews.htm Enjoy!

Does anyone know where I can find the 1900 - 1950 census records for Mineral and surroinding Counties. Thanks

Peter died in Winchester, VA and was buried in Philos Cemetery, Westernport. He was a jeweler and grocery store operator in Piedmont, WV. He was survived by his 2nd wife Annie Fredica Allen and children George Thurston, Nellie May, Paul Stanley, and Enice Kathleen. Does any one have information regarding the survivors? Thanks for your help. George M. Williams

Thank you Cheryl (this is the other Lenore - we've spoken before :-) Three hours seems to be the concensus which is a very 'doable' distance :-) Mary

Thanks to you too Sharon. I was hoping it wasn't too far - and it isn't! Mary

Lonny, thank you so much for the driving directions! We will definitely make the trip to Keyser now! Can't wait to see the land of my ancestors :-) Mary

It is about a 3 hour drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2000 7:52 PM Subject: Re: [WVMINERA] Records > List, would someone tell me how many miles it is from Baltimore to Keyser? > How long would it take to drive there?

Thanks but I have found my information on Mineral web page. I was checking Clark Co., OH and wondered why they didn't have at least one complete census on instead of several with only a few names. I didn't know if you didn't get a complete census. I understand it takes time but I would rather find one complete than several with only A's or A and B surnames.
