This page is the home of the Jackson County WVGenWeb project. Thanks to Rootsweb Cooperative and the efforts of Brian Leverich and Karen Isaacson for providing free web space for the WVGenWeb Project and the related county pages for many years. Recent changes in ownership and changes in the policies of TGN have resulted in our decision to find a new location.

The WVGenWeb Project and USGenWeb Project and all associated counties have never been owned by Rootsweb or its parent companies and we prefer not to have banner ads on every page that indicate that we are owned by them. Our goal is still to provide genealogy information freely to all.

I am in need of lookup volunteers. If you have access to Jackson County data and you are willing to assist as a lookup volunteer, please contact Les Shockey, host of the Jackson County WVGenWeb page. Please include the title, author and any other data about your sources. To the lookup volunteers who have helped over the years, A BIG THANKS and please make sure to keep your contact information updated.

I am also looking for materials to add to these pages relating to Jackson County History and Genealogy. If you have family histories or other material that you are willing to share, please send them to the address above. This material will be added to the pages and appropiate credits listed as to the source and/or contributor.
