The different references published in West Virginia are rich genealogical resources that reflect the state's frontier roots and Civil War-era formation. Together with county histories, coal mining records, and land deeds, they help trace families through the rugged Appalachian region after it split from Virginia and achieved statehood in 1863. Military rosters, church archives, and documents from the state’s early industries also provide valuable insights into ancestral connections in the Mountain State.
