Hoot Owl At the Archives
Our friend and researcher, Margureitte Ratcliff sent in this announcement about the Hoot Owl Night at the Charleston Archives. This event will take place April 4 to 5, 2008. Last year's event was a blast, says Margureitte. You'll need to register in advance, so don't let the date slip up on you. I plan to attend and hope to see all of you there.

"We Take This Opportunity To Write" Book
Heritage Books has just published a book I've written called "We Take This Opportunity To Write: Sexton, Coon, and Porter Letters to the Jordans of White County, Indiana, 1844-1862." My Great-great Grandparents, William and Catherine Jordan, left Cabell County in 1827 with their family and moved to Indiana. The book includes letters from Catherine's brothers, Adam, John and Andrew Sexton, who remained behind in Cabell County. Besides family matters, the letters contain interesting items on the destruction wrought to the area from the storms of 1844, the split that took place in the local church before the Civil War, and news items on neighbors. Cabell County surnames mentioned include Black, Templeton, Reynolds, Carroll, Malcolm, and Erwin. The book can be ordered on the following link: www.heritagebooks.com. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for your help. Jerry Jordan

ALIFF Book Available Soon
29 Jan 2004
Hello Aliff tree branches!
As most of you know my name is Doris J. Aliff of Chesapeake, WV and I am
writing a book on the Aliff Genealogy.
At this time it includes some 16,402 individuals and 5575 marriages and 2041
surnames. With at least one line having 12 generations. Due to the weather I
have hibernated for the winter and stopped visitations. But before that I
have copied 25 different counties records of birth, death and marriage,
along with several visits to KY, OH, FL, OK, TX, NC and far to many
families to count. I want to take this time to thank all those who have
returned their family sheets, and want to invite anyone that I have missed
to contact me and I will gladly sent out some printed samples of their
family line so they can correct or add to the publication. Thank you again
Doris.

Document for sale
18 Nov 1997
At an auction this summer, I "rescued" a framed
marriage certificate for Josiah ADAMS, of Virgil, KS and
Minnie HINCHMAN of Barboursville, WV dated 1909. Now this was
not a family auction, it was the auction of an antiques
dealers estate so I was not bidding against family...I would
never do that...but it seems like there should be someone out
there who is looking for this information. Please feel free
to contact me at [email protected].
Thanks Gayle.
