This review is from: Genealogies of West Virginia Families (Paperback)

Genealogies of West Virginia Families is a consolidation of all the family history articles to have appeared throughout the complete run of The West Virginia Historical Magazine Quarterly, from 1901 to 1905. Though a rich source of West Virginia genealogical data, this short-lived periodical is very scarce and, moreover, has never before been indexed. Clearfield Company is delighted to rectify both of these shortcomings by reprinting the genealogical meat of the magazine and by adding a complete name index of more than 5,000 entries. If your West Virginia ancestor came from one of the following main families, Genealogies of West Virginia Families is a work you won't want to overlook: Cameron, Clendinen, Doddridge, Duke, Elting-Shepherd, Hansford, Henderson, Henshaw, Hite, Houston, Lewis (Samuel and John), Lovell (Joseph), McWhorter (Henry and John), Miller, Morris (William), Nourse (James), Patrick (Virginia Harvie), Ruffner (Peter and Joseph), Rumsey (James), Shepherd, Stribling-Hereford, Teays, VanMeter, Van Metre-DuBois-Shepherd-Hite, and Yates-Aglionby.
