If you are looking for a particular surname, the search engine is at the bottom of this page.
If you have come here looking for genealogy and history then you are at the right place!
For the time being, this is being used as my main index page for access to birth, death, marriage & military records.
Some records pertain to our family tree but there are many more that do not. You'll also find some Calhoun, Ritchie,
Wirt & Wood County, West Virginia cemeteries photographed, transcribed and/or indexed. There are more to come
and they will be added as time allows.
This is also the homepage of "Family History Savers"
As a hobby, I collect old bibles, family papers, photographs, scrapbooks & misc family items that have names on them.
I do so in hopes of seeing them returned to a respectful family member and ... would love to see EVERY item returned
to a related family! Check out the link below to see if I may have picked up something from your family's history.
If you find an item that you think belongs to someone in your family, PLEASE contact me and let me know!
