I did talk to Sally. She is much better and tryin to get active. Sally told me she has all her back issues and will accept orders for them. Will get back later on what else she has. Told her that Matthew is going strong on continuing FOWC and has some good plans AND Sally was completely thrilled and excited.

Genness, my only Milam in Wyoming Co is Margaret, b abt 1828 in Tazewell, VA. Her parents were John Turner Milam and Barbara Shrader. She was married to Tobias Belcher 15 Mar 1845 in Elkhorn, Tazewell County, Virginia. She died in Slab Fork abt 1886. As you can see, I don't have a lot on her.

Several people have commented the last few days that they are interested in old Wyoming County pictures. I recommend the following books: (1) Ed Robinson, Images of America Wyoming County (Arcadia Publishing,<arcadiapublishing.com> or Phone 1-888-313-2665) 2005 This book contains many photos taken by Mary (Keller) Bowman's brother who was a professional photographer and had a studio in Pineville around 1910-1914. (2) A Pictorial History of Wyoming County, Wst Virginia (The Wyoming County Report, PO Box 999 Riverside Drive, Pineville, West Virginia 24874, or Phone 1-304-732-6450) STAN

David, Sally Seaman Williams began "Families of Yancy County" N.C. some time ago. Her husband at the time had origins there. It was found that many families from that area migrated into what is now Wyoming County, W.Va. Sally then became interested and thus "Families of Wyoming County" quarterlies began. She is not from there and has no family there. When "demand" for FOWC dwindled to less than 50 subscribers for a few years, Sally ceased production. She continues FOYC with paid subscribers of 200 or more, Sally is a retired Postal Worker and now must rely on Oxygen for her health. Recently her Doctor increased her daily oxygen usage. This past week Sally "caught the flu" which seriously impaired her limited activities. Sally has been to Pineville MANY times visiting friends there while doing research at the Court House, She often stayed with Mrs. Miller who also had lots of Wyoming history and pictures of the area and families. When coming east she would stay with Nancy and I and a friend in Baltimore. I have known Sally for 12 years or more and talk with her frequently. She now lives in California.

Sherry, Hello again. I'm not sure if I'm understanding right? Is this your family also? I am not actively researching William or Mary Catherine at this time. I have already did quite a bit on them. I have copies of census records and marriage records. I also have all the family pics of them, their families , including Martin Hill, some of his family and many others from Wyoming Co and surrounding areas. I may have read wrong but I thought you were asking me what I knew about them. Sorry if you thought I was needing help. Also, as for the website you sent me to. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just stating the obvious that I am very cautious to rely on a website or any other person for my research. I'm sure tons and tons of time went into it and I for one know how many years you can spend on genealogy and like I said, the records that someone else read may have had William as William Robert. My point was being that if I was the type of person to simply copy and consider it part of my research that I would have the same wrong information. Again I apologize to everyone that took offense. Alicia Brown
