Jackie
and I are looking for information about our respective family histories.
Most of our research to date is in public libraries, the Family History
Center in Salt Lake City, and information from relatives.
In
the spring of '99, we headed for West Virginia to find a couple of
cemeteries. We knew we would be able to confirm some information if we
could locate some grave markers. Here are pictures from that trip.

The greatest challenge was finding an old cemetery in West
Virginia, the Board-Seaman Cemetery. It is in this cemetery that
Jackie's great grandparents Ira Stout Chenoweth, and Matilda McCoy
Chenoweth, are buried. It was an interesting trip down back roads
and through picturesque West Virginia valleys. We found the
cemetery and marked it with our GPS.
.
Also
buried here is
Ufa Gladys Chenoweth, who would have been Jackie's aunt.
Although the marker is in bad shape, it is still possible to
read the inscription. |

Our trip to West Virginia coincided with Memorial Day.
The cemetery at Ravenswood, on the East side of the Ohio River,
was decorated with may flags and flowers. Here many members of
Jackie's family are buried. |

Our research
continues
We have discovered a great deal as we research our family history,
but
there is still much to learn!
