Greetings From Sunny MinCo, I'm looking for old Mineral County newspapers prior to, or in addition to the ones I have been putting on the Mineral Co USGenWeb page. If you have any old newspapers, please either transcribe the articles in them - or copy them and mail then to me. The Piedmont Herald has old papers, as well as mentions of Mineral Countians in surrounding county papers. They may be very valuable to fellow researchers. Patti

I have begun the transcriptions for the year 1915. (I'm still only copying the pages with Obits) You can view the Jan, 1915 transcriptions at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/tribunejan1915.htm Enjoy, Patti

Bailey Rotruck/Roderick George Arnold Taylor Wilkins Miller

I received this email today. Is there anyone who has any information for this person? Patti I have, for some time now, been trying to find information about my Mother's (Alverta [or Alberta] Lucille McDonald) Father, Edward McDonald. He married Clara Belle Warnick and resided in Elk Garden, WV. They had several children who were parceled out after their Mother's death in her mid-40s. My Mother was sent to live with her sister, Orpha McDonald Norris in Huntingdon County, PA. All my Mother really knows of her Father's past was that her sister, Orpha, referred to a relative of his as Mad Calf. She was told that her Father was the son of an indian man and a white woman and that he was placed in a family by the name of McDonald. Can you please help me find out a little more or direct me to how to go about it. This has always been a big blank in my Mother's life and I would like her to know before she passes away. They would never talk about the background because it was considered shameful.

Greetings From MinCo, I have added the Dec 11, 1914 Keyser Tribune transcriptions to the Mineral Co USGenWeb page. You can view these at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/tribunedec1914.htm Enjoy, Patti

Thank you Patty for your time and work on this.
