Patricia, if you could either post your email or email me at toc5871@aol.com. I believe I found a marriage record.

Thank you, I'm not sure if it's them but it does remind me to broaden my search from just the West Virginia areas. Both of their families were fairly well off so they may have traveled elsewhere to marry. I guess I always assumed that the areas of Virginia that became West Virginia would just have kept all their records and such because the name of the area changed not the location. Is this correct?

IF you read Family Tree Magazine, there is a listing in the front about previous articles, someone wrote in about the VA/WV records. See if you can get anywhere from that. Also try their website.

Plus, you are right about the traveling. I have family from NY that got married in TX, I could not understand that. I still do not have all the information on that one. Good luck with your search.
