Family tree research in west virginia?

Question:

Family tree research in west virginia?

I am looking for anyone that is doing family research on Backus, Foster, Keith, Neal, Williams families in Nicholas, Fayette or possibly Clay county in WV.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I second the US Gen Web suggestion and add this:
http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.a...

and
http://genforum.genealogy.com/wv/countie...

but caution you to read a dozen posts, and
http://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.html...
before you post your own. Pay particular attention to the posts that got results.

People ding me constantly for suggesting this isn't a "real" genealogy board, but - GenForum has a category for genealogy in each county in WV - and for every other state. So does Ancestry. YA has one big category which covers all counties, all surnames, and "What would be a good display name?"

Check out the mailing lists, too:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/...

There are lists for each of your surnames and counties. Read a dozen or so messages in the archives before you sign up.

Best of luck!
