I would be interested in any information you have about Spohrs in the Morgan/Berkeley County area. I have an Elizabeth Spohr as the wife of Lewis Meek b. 1735 Berkeley County VA d. 1830, with a daughter, Nancy Meek(s) who married my John W. Unger of Morgan County. I did not research this information and have always wanted to prove it or find out more about the Spohr family. Joy Unger Henning __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

This was fwd'd to me, and I think it is very worthwhile. Together, we can let the powers that be, know that we value our history, over commercialism.

I have seen this "closing" of records on several sites for several states. What I find interesting is that birth and death announcements were placed much of the time in the newspapers of the area, which in my mind makes them "public record". It seems to me the government is going a little too far to protect identities. I understand the concerns about identity theft but as one writer put it, everytime you use the internet you have a chance of having your identity stolen. It may be too late now, but maybe and exception could have been made for genealogists but I guess trying to ascertain and identify true researchers would be too cumbersome for the government. Edie

If Governor Wise signs HB 4330, all birth records will be closed to public access for 100 years and all death records closed for 50 years. Please email Governor: Governor@WVGOV.org

No other persons in the household. He was a farmer. There is no Morgan County marriage record for them, nor any record for Archibald for an earlier marriage, at least from 1865 forward. They probably married in Berkeley County; the marriage record might give you the parents' names.
