Good Morning Barbe Cook. It was down to 11 degrees here in Culpeper this Morning. Yes, I noted a couple of "errors" when transcribing Goode's Ledger. But it is proper to not correct his writings as such. I should have made footnotes however at the time. Joel also points out an incorrect date Goode made in the formation of Wyoming County. We note that Bowman "carried over" some of his errors when she released the History of Wyoming County. She used a few of the MANY ledgers of Goode when her book was published. Several of his works have been destroyed by "mice". I hasten to add that the CD was transcribed from one of his Ledgers which has not been "seen" or released to this date. This Ledger began on New Year's Day back in 1930. Question now as should the CD of his records be released with these few errors and/or perhaps a statement in the introductory page surfice. Thanks to you and Ed Davidson for reviewing his works, Lee **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489

The 2nd edition of the "Wyoming County Heritage" book published by the Wyoming County Genealogical Society is in the process of being published. If the Bowman book contains a lot of errors, does anyone know how accurate the info is in the Heritage book? I've got the Bowman book and am getting the Heritage one, so guess I can compare the info I need in the 2 books then check the records to see but could end up with multiple dates, names etc. Dates on birth certs, death certs, tombstones and Bibles seem to be all over the place. How can you be certain of any of them? I know this is Wyoming Cty's site, but my Milam ties are in both counties. I've got the Raleigh County West Virginia book by Jim Wood. Does anyone know of any other Raleigh County history books that might help in research in Raleigh County? Genness
