West  Virginia Genealogy, Sources and Resources
Carol McGinnis
Volume totaling  135
pages. Book is in new condition.  Per The publisher;
This detailed guide to genealogical sources and resources in  West Virginia covers what records to look for, what is available, and where it  can be found. From the large to the small, it identifies records on the state  and regional level and then county level (county by county), providing details  of vital records, Bible records, church records, cemetery records, newspapers,  naturalizations, military records, county and regional records, census records  (including special schedules, indexes, and census substitutes), land records,  maps, and city directories. Also included is a detailed bibliography of West  Virginia genealogical sources--again statewide, regional, and countywide. Also  there are appendicxs with: (1) a complete inventory of the Historical Records  Survey Archives on microfilm, and (2) a list of West Virginians who filed Civil  War damage claims, 1871-1880.
The main focus of the book, however, is on the holdings of the  various institutions whose resources support the genealogist's special needs.  County by county, it lists the names, addresses, and business hours of  libraries, archives, societies, courthouses, and other record repositories;  describes their manuscript and record collections; highlights their special  holdings; and provides details regarding queries, searches, and restrictions on  the use of their records.
