African American Genealogy - West Virginia
If you are searching for African
American Genealogy in West Viriginia a new blog has been created that might help
you. Blogger Chaynes has created a large index of African American people in West
Viriginia which has been given to various historical socities. What started out as
a personal search for some grandparents has turned into a large compilation of African
American Genealogy. Here is an excerpt:
Somewhere along the line I decided that if I simply wrote down the names
of every black/mulatto/native american that I could find in the area, by the process
of elimination, I would locate my ancestors.
Every year I would send a copy of my draft notes to a historical society or museum.
The first year I sent one tiny section consisting of, at most, forty pages. Now, there
are 27 sections.I now feel that it might be of some help to folks who had ancestors in southeastern
West Virginia to share some tips and information via a blog.
