The Ashcraft Family Files: This file was transcribed from the long
form Tetrick questionnaires.
Each individual who
heads a section was the respondent of the information associated with
his/her family.
Although these individuals in this collection seem to be representative
of
various counties in
WV, the Ashcraft family has a long history in Harrison Co. Transcribed
and donated by Nanci
Headley Kotowski.

who was an early
settler of Harrison County.

The Hall Records, Genealogical and Biographical", by
Richard Miller, 1886. Scanned, and
generously
submitted by David Fowler, this book covers the Thomas Hall family
from
Delaware.
Family
guide to "Hall Records, Biographical and Genealogical":
Dave Stevens has
generated his own outline
descent tree for the descendants of Thomas Hall, as found in
Miller's book, "The Hall
Records". Because he found the original version to be a bit confusing,
Dave also reformatted the
book for his own research use. This reformatted version,
along with a much more detailed
index, is available as a word document. If you would
like a copy, or have any
additional information or corrections to make to this guide, please
let me know, and I will pass
it along to Dave.

Geneologies:
I've decided to put genealogies online. If you would like to submit
your's,
please let me know.
PLEASE
NOTE: If you submit information on living people, make
CERTAIN that you have
their
permission: people have a right to their privacy.
Invasion of privacy
is NOT justifiable in the name of research. No information
other than
names will be listed
for living people; folks born after 1950 will not be put online.
If we get
enough submitted, I'll
start a new section just for the genealogies. Also- please remember
we have space limitations:)
