eventually would form another eleven counties in what later became the
state of West Virginia. Sooner or later, any serious search in the
southern West Virginia area leads back to Greenbrier County records. A
most thorough index is provided in the current work, and it includes

twenty-five thousand total references. [Grn1] $22.00

Shuck 1989, ix, 302 p. The author continues with the compiling of
Greenbrier's early records by the transcribing of selected personal
property tax lists for this county until the time when surviving
censuses are available to continue the search for ancestors. In the
years when a date of visitation is included (1792, 1796, & 1799) two
lists are available: one is presented in its entirety in alphabetic
order, the second in abbreviated fashion by date of visitation. In
this way the researcher can provide helpful clues as to who an
ancestor's neighbors were. [Grn2] $22.00

part of Virginia's records, and after that date they fall within the
purview of West Virginia public record. A full and complete index of
all names is provided in volume 3 of the set; volume one includes a
surname frequency and the complete abstracts sorted alphabetical by
husband's name; volume 2 uses the bride's maiden name as the sort key.

important work for this early county's records. [Grn4] {3v.set} $49.95

transcribed by Larry G. Shuck. 1991, iv, 127 pages, index. Fayette
County was created in 1831 from portions of Logan, Greenbrier,

territory back to Greenbrier County, and in 1839 another small parcel
was returned to Kanawha County. Raleigh County was formed in 1850 from
the southern part of Fayette, and also in that year a slight
adjustment was made in the boundary line between Fayette and Kanawha
counties, with territory accruing to Fayette. The current booklet is
an accurate and thorough transcription of the first census for Fayette
County, West Virginia, in which all members of each household were
listed individually by name. This volume contains over one thousand
unique surname entries. A valuable source for genealogists. A complete
