It's Lori. I have been working on my web site, the state site for West Virginia at the American Local History Network. Although most of the following have NOT been added, this is to let you know what info I have added or will be adding to the site soon! I hope you enjoy it. The address is at http://www.usgennet.org/~alhnwvus/index.htm I am pretty new to AUTHORING this site, and will appreciate polite criticism. If anyone would like to volunteer to take a county for West Virginia, I will appreciate that, too! The only thing we really are looking for is LOCAL HISTORY. If you belong to any other mail lists, please forward this on. I will be adding biographies on several towns and individuals, including the following: Towns: Cameron Charleston Clarksburg CharlesTown Elizabeth Elkins Fairmont Grafton Harrisville Huntington Kingwood Logan Madison Mannington Martinsburg Marlinton Huntersville Middlebourne Moundsville Morgantown New Martinsville New Cumberland Parkersburg Pennsboro Philippi Point Pleasant Pineville - Towns in Putnam County - St. Marys Sutton Wheeling West Union Weston Welch Williamson Biographies: Arthur Ingraham Boreman Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson Francis Harrison Pierpont Daniel D.
