Genealogy & Ward, WV

Ward, West Virginia is a coal mining community that was thriving from the early 1900′s until the mid 1970′s.  My mother grew up there and both sets of my grandparents lived there when they were children.  I write about Ward here in my blog and I also write about my genealogy research.

Genealogy I have the blog posts arranged in a primary category named Genealogy, with sub-categories by surnames, location names and others that will develop as the need arises.  Just click the black arrows in the menu in the right margin to expand the categories and explore.
