We live in Franklin, and have met with many researchers to help them find what they are looking for. I am a transplant here from Maryland, but my husband is from Onego, near Seneca Rocks. We try to help anyone we can. If it pertains to the North Fork area, Bill either knows where to find it, or someone who does. We have a few maps of the county, and would gladly send them to anyone interested, for the cost of postage, usually two stamps. Let us know if we can help. We are both disabled, and have time that others do not to help out. Rev. Koren Fae Rawlings and William J.

By WV law, family members (basically anyone) are allowed access to cemeteries that are on private land. As a courtesy, I always stop at the house first (and get lots of info), but if there is no answer, proceed to the cemetery. And, as a courtesy and common sense, close all gates that you open, as soon as you drive through them, (the duty of the right-hand passenger) and do not trample the hay crop by driving through it. Otherwise, I have driven up many, many ruts into the "hollars!" Every one has been most cordial and actually delighted that I stopped to view their family cemetery.

I am confused: I have seen (on the internet) Rachel Mulenax who married Joseph Thompson as the daughter of: James Mulenax and Mary Arbogast and James Mulenax and Mary Yeager and George Mulenax Does anyone have any documented proof to whose daughter she is? Any clues where to look for proof? Does anyone have a list of children for James and which wife was their mother? Does anyone have any information on Rachel Mulenax and Joseph Thompson? I am trying to prove or eliminate this as my Rachel and Joseph Thompson, the parents of James M and George who were born in Pendleton Co. but died in Barbour Co. WV. Does anyone know of any other Rachel's who married a Joseph Thompson and lived in Pendleton Co.when these boys were born, about 1800-1815? Thanks for any help Nanette Styer

Hello, I am editor of the Allegheny Regional Family History Society and I am putting a list of reunion dates together for our journal. If you have any reunions coming up for the summer in the Allegheny Region, I will be glad to put the dates, location, and any info regarding family reunions in our spring issue of the ARA Journal. A little bit about our group: The ALLEGHENY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting interest in and preservation of family history and genealogy throughout the Allegheny Mountain Region. While no physical boundaries have been set for the Allegheny Region, it might best be defined as those counties in West Virginia, southwest Pennsylvania, western Maryland and western Virginia; and may include any area that received a settlement of people from that area in the last two centuries. The ALLEGHENY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY publishes a quarterly journal, ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS. In addition to the queries and surname lists mentioned, the journal also contains a news section that reports various items of interest to family historians. Also carried are numerous feature articles and records of a genealogical and historical interest from within the Allegheny Region. Membership dues are $20.00 per year, and includes a subscription to the ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS. Members receive a 10% discount on all the organization's publications. Also, we are in the process of reviewing documented articles for our journal. If you have documented articles or items, whether your a member or not, you are invited to submit materials for consideration.
