Welcome To"Jackson County West Virginia Genealogy "a part ofThe WVGenWeb Project |
|
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.

| Message Boards have replaced the GenConnect Boards for Query, Obituaries, Biographiess, Bible Records, Wills, Deeds and Pensions. All of the old postings were moved to this new board system with new boards added for Births, Marriages, Immigrations and others. If you create a username and password to post new queries or data, you can then easily update all postings if your email address changes. You can read or search the Message Board without logging on with a username and password. |

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. 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 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.
If you wish to host or assist with a county page, please contact Lesley Shockey, coordinator of the West Virginia state page of the WVGenWeb project. Thanks.
