does anyone have any idea where I might be able purchase the Deahl family book. I went to the Kingwood library, and they don't even have it there. If fact, they don't have much of anything. I am looking for Elizabeth Deahl, and William Smith. Also looking for info on the Zuccari family and the Austen Coal camp. anything would be appreciated Bev Ferrell Slagle

Try the Oakland (MD) library. They have a lot of genealogy books. Bill Pyles

"I went to the Kingwood library, and they don't even have it there. If fact, they don't have much of anything." Christmas is one of the best times of the year to make a contribution to a local library. Just think, if everyone on this mailing list donated one genealogy or local history book to the Kingwood Library in memory of one of their ancestors, what a tremendous effect this would have on their collection. It would benefit current researchers and generations to come. The book or a check marked "for genealogy material only" is also tax deductable.

Bev, I obtained my copy of "Deahl/Deal The History of the Descendants of Henry Deahl" from Eleanor Deal, Rt 3 Box 248, Bruceton Mills WV 26525 but don't recall the price. The family of William & Elizabeth (Deahl) Smith is included but I cannot provide information from a copyrighted source. The Kingwood library "don't have much of anything"?? Granted, their collection is small but I have found genealogies there that aren't available elsewhere. In fact, my last trip to the Kingwood library I had about $30 worth of copies made from their genealogy collection at 10¢ per page. I understand the Kingwood library also has copies of the manuscripts used in Dorothy Bonafield Snyder's first series of articles on Preston Co Civil War soldiers but I was unaware of this when I was there. If you want to check a larger collection, I suggest the WVU Library at Colson Hall in Morgantown. The stacks are open for browsing. Copies are 10¢ per page. Also, the WV Archives also has a large genealogy collection and the stacks are open.
