Working Today to Preserve Tomorrow
Cemeteries. Another project we are undertaking is the recording of the
Coalwood/Caretta cemeteries. We’ve recently begun this task. If you have any
documentation or remembrance of any persons buried here, or any other historical
significance, we’d like to hear from you. We are submitting our findings to the
WV Division of Culture & History in Charleston. We will also send our results to
several international cemetery organizations, so all will have access to these
important records.
Genealogy. There is no origin for a
genealogy search of Coalwood families.
People are looking for people.
They want to know the story of their
ancestors. They want to know how they
lived, how they worked, what a day in
their life was like. There is a wealth of
information out there, yet there is no
central place to do this important search.
We are committed to being that central
place. Our Coalwood Queries page on
this web site will be up soon so you can
begin to initiate your search.
Unrecorded Stories of Mud Hole,
Snake Root and Six.
There’s very little information on the
citizens from Mud Hole, Snake Root, and
Six. The histories here are unrecorded
and the stories here untold. We are in
the process of mailing out a request to
those who have ties to these
communities. We want to know who you
are, where you are, and the story you
come from. Our goal is to collect oral
and written narratives. No memory is too
much or too little. If you have
something to share, we’d love to hear
from you.
