Kim, are you aware of any Buchanan's that may have gone to IL? In the early 1900's my great grandmother had a Frank Buchanan listed as a boarder. In an obit on her mother's side (not the Tyler connection) it referred to him in a mention of various family who came for a funeral. I was studying my great grandmother Eliza's death cert the other day. Frank Buchanan was the informant and he put that her father was b. in West VA. He put Unknown for the mother. His knowing abt West VA made me wonder if he was somehow related going back to Tyler Co. A little checking quickly showed that there were Buchanans in Tyler Co in the 1800's. This is no doubt stretching a clue but I have been more curious abt him since I got to thinking abt that death certificate. At this point I have not learned any more abt him. The 1910 census gave his birth as IL.

Hi There are some Buchanans in Pleasants Co. There was a family of them that lived across the street from me when I was young 1939/42 The father was a barber all of his life and was called Buck of course. The only one whose name I remember was Okie and I do not know if he was of the same family. If you have any interest e-mail me and I will peruse it further for you. WileyERea@AOL.com AKA Grumps

Hello, I am new to the list. I am searching for any Buchanan's. I have hit a brick wall and was just informed of the county lists. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Kim (Buchanan) Ford P.S. I am also interested in hearing from or even possibly meeting relatives!!!!!

Julie, I can appreciate what you're saying about having more on your plate than you can handle. I'm at that point with my genealogy as well. I'm glad to know Tyler did have it's own newspaper..wonder just how early it got off the ground..we accept tiny bits of info any time you come across them. Hope someone out there will help with this important newspaper information, Thanks much, Lenore

Hal, "Early West Virginia Wills - Vol 1" by K.T.H. McFarland is a book. I just found a listing on it at www.amazon.com - however they are showing the book is out of print. I can't recall where I got it, but it must have been through Amazon.com. The publisher was Closson Press, Apollo, PA. c 1993. Sorry, that is all I can find on it.

What is the URL for "Early WV wills"? thanks Hal Baker

Hal Baker wrote: >What is the URL for "Early WV wills"? thanks Hal Baker Please reply to list, I would like this URL also. Thanks, Pat

Hi Christina, Lenore, and Others, "Local" paper for Tyler County is the "Tyler Star News"--published every Wednesday. I do believe at one time the paper was printed on site, but is now done in Wheeling, WV. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!) It is all local news of the county, the towns, and communities it encompasses. Although I have more on my plate than I can handle right now, IF no one else offers to check about the early papers, I will try to see what I can find out. Julie critters@rcvideo.com

I thought you might be interested in participating and sharing this e-mail with those in your address book. CJ Turn On Your Lights for America As I was driving to work this morning I passed by an elementary school and noticed that the flag had been lowered to half-mast in memory of the students and their families in Littleton, Colorado. What a wonderful gesture that simple act is. But, I thought to myself, what can I do to show others that I too am deeply affected by this tragedy. Turn on a light. Turn on my headlights. Turn on my porch light. But how do I get this message to others? Use the Internet. I'm sending this message to everyone on my email list and am asking that you do the same. I am going to turn on my headlights on Friday morning on my way to work, on Saturday as I run my errands and especially on Sunday as I go to my place of worship. I'm also going to turn on my porch lights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. I'm going to turn on my lights for the families in Littleton to show them that I care about them, that I feel the pain and hurt and heartache. I'm going to turn on my lights for what is right about this country. I'm going to turn on my lights against the darkness, the anger and the prejudice. I hope you will join me. One light is not much but put them together and we can light up the world. Turn on your lights - show that you stand for what is right about America. And as you turn on your headlights and porch lights this weekend; turn on the light in your heart and soul. Show the world that this is not what America is all about. With your light shining bright, along with others, we can come together (if only for a brief moment) and combat the evil that confronts us all. Please pass this email on to everyone on your address list. Let's see if we can get this message to everyone across this great country before Friday morning and let's use the Internet for what it was intended - good. Turn on your headlights Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 23, 24, and 25 Turn on your porch lights Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night April 23, 24, and 25 Light up America. Show that you care about what is right about our country. Pass this email along as soon as possible.

Dear listowner, The attached file you sent this week didn't come through, however postings today did come through. I am on AOL is that the problem?? Please let me know Tyler Co is very important to me...I will look for the list of newspapers requested today in the meantime. Nancy (WEEKLEY, PRATT, ASHCRAFT, DAVIS, YOUNG, PHILLIPS)

Lenore, I agree that it makes fascinating reading. One of the lists I am on has someone who periodically posts from the early newspaper. The Genweb co-ordinator was then making the articles available on the webpage. I am sure it is a lot of work. I don't have access to the newspaper, but thought I would try to get it through interlibrary loan. If anyone has any obits or articles of interest from Tyler we would be glad to see them.
