Kim: At one time part of Hampshire Co. became Mineral Co. I've even found some listed in Hardy Co. since they are all in close proximity of another. You can write the Bureau of Vital Registration, Bldg. 3, Room 516, Capitol Complex, Charleston, WV 25305 @ $5.00 (non-refundable) plus a SASE. The only problem is they charge you the $5 even if they don't find what you're looking for. Hope this helps some.
