I am searching for information on my great grandmother Margaret “Meda” Vance McLean. b. around 1880 in Ireland where she married Richard Alexander McLean and gave birth to my grandfather Richard Alexander McLeon. From stories my aunt has said, she and her family came over to this country and stayed with her family in West Virginia. Another trip over from Ireland, much later she died at sea and was buried. The problem is that I cannot confirm the exact name of her husband. My grandfather ran away from home, and went by an alias until he died never revealing the exact spelling giving any additional information. I am a amaeuter at this, and if anyone can help with any information regarding Margaret…it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
my name’s Daniela De Angelis, i’m from Sezze, Italy. I’m looking for my family origins. I know that, in 1912, my great grandfather Casalini Pasquale went to USA. The address he indicated was 523 Kanaska Ave Charleston WV. His destination was a cousin house. The name of the cousin was Stafferone Angelo. My great grand father came back Italy.
I tried to look for this address and some information about Stafferone’s family but i haven’t found anything. Can you help me if possible? can you tell me if, in Charleston, does this address exist?
Thank you in advance and saluti from Sezze 🙂

Hello! I am researching a homicide of a family member that occurred in Switzer, Logan Co. It was Harrel Clay, on 28 Jan 1946 at the Beer Gaidor (can’t read that word very well on the death cert). He was a war vet, only 23 at the time of death. Family stories are that it was over him being mixed up in the Hatfield/McCoy mess. Have tried to find a newpaper article online but have had no luck. Any info would be wonderful. My husband was born less than a month later & he was given Harrel’s name, but the family was so torn up about the death that they couldn’t say the name, so my husband became “Buddy”. Thank you!
Kim, the record says Beer Garden.

I now know I am looking for the name of the family who owned the Logan Cafe on Stratton street in the mid 50’s. A man by the name of Louie ran it around then. Any help would be appreciated.
I can be reached at Jenniferliers@yahoo.com
Jennifer,according to an old Logan
phonebook,the Logan Cafe was located at
319 Stratton St. Franklin’s at 208,Nick’s at
411 & the Smoke House at 134.
The man was Louie Papardopaulous who
changed his name to Louie Pauley.You can
find him at familysearch.org.
Bob,
Thank you so much! That matches exactly with my Grandmother’s memory that he mentioned changing his name. My question is, how do I find is info on Familysearch.org. I see that name, but nothing that truly confirms it is the same person. And I can’t find anything under the older name. Am I searching incorrectly? Thanks for your help.
Below is a Family Search link….It gives various information on Louie Pauley….Also listed in various entries are his parents and siblings from the 1920 U.S. Census , that may help….There are also other entries that might apply to him .
https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3ALouie%20%2Bsurname%3APauley%20%2Bresidence_place%3A%22Logan%20%2C%20west%20virginia%22~
Thanks so much Tony. I am new at this, so excuse the questions and this may not be the place to post them, but here are my concerns:
My grandmother remembers him being around 26 in 1956, so that entry seems just a bit too old in age. The other issue is he was supposed Greek and changed his name from Papadapaulos. I don’t think his parents ever changed their names.
We are hoping to make a trip up there this fall. Perhaps via the courthouse or newspaper archives we can narrow some of this stuff down.
Thanks!
looking for any family of G. Burgess Thompson..from verdenville

Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for my Grandfathers Father. Reverend Henry John Simpkins Jr. was Born on 14 March 1885 In Mingo, WV. I do know that he lived in Horsepin Hollow Logan WV. He was married on 1 Jan 1906, with a Minnie Ellis. He had listed as his father on his Marriage Certification of H. Simpkins and M. Mounts. I have found out that M. Mounts was Martha Mounts and she worked as a laundress in the area. She has Henry listed as a “Mounts” on the 1900 Census in the Mingo Stafford District. I also know that Mingo and Logan counties were together at one time then separated into separate counties later. I am told by several people that Henry John Simpkins was a Junior but I have no evidence of this.. I would love to find out if this is indeed the case. I also assume that it may be possible that Henry was conceived out of wedlock, or his father could have passed away shortly there after. I am also told that Henry had a Half-Brother named Willard H. Hatfield. I would appreciate any information that you may have to share with me. According to the 1900 Census, It is listed that the mother and father was born in WV but I am unable to obtain any records relating this. Thank you for your time!
Hello Alan, familysearch.com has the info
that you are seeking.The site shows that
Henry & Martha had a son, Arnold born,
June 23,1910. Also Willard Hatfield is in

Thanks your help is welcomed and thanks for replying. I am looking for the siblings of Joseph Adams married to Dicy Mullins. Any proof would be greatly appreciated.
So sorry about the passing of your dear mother. I have been trying to confirm that John Washington Adams was Joseph’s brother. I have Washington’s parents as William and Ann…but I was hoping for some proof. This family was very close nit. I know they are brothers…just can’t prove it.
Any stories you can share would be wonderful to hear. Thanks so much.
I found this. I am not sure if it is the same john you are looking for.

Thank you Sarah, and yes it is the same Joseph. I need proof of the relationship. If there is anyway to prove this. Some of these sites do calculated relationships.

Having made two trips to the Wharncliffe area searching several cemeteries looking unsuccessfully for my great grandfather Eli (Aly) Hatfield and his wife Edith Cline.
Also Eli’s father Joseph and mother Nancy Evans, or Valentine (1789-1872) and his wife Martha Weddington (1795-1852). A response would be highly appreciated. Would like to make one more trip to find them.
