Stephanie: I am also looking for Bland connections. My great-grandfather was Oliver O. Bland and I'm trying to find his parents' names and his place of origin. He married Sarah Ann Myers 3 Sept. 1871 in Wetzel Co., WV. She is from Wetzel Co. but I don't think he was. He died in 1930 in Taylor Co. (they don't have a death certificate for him). What are some of your Blands? Susan/WV
