Well my whole family moved to Ohio in the mid 50s from W.Va.. Still go back for reunions and for visits it's a beautiful state!

What part of WV are your relatives? I grew up in and around Clarksburg and Bridgeport.

Parkersburg and east of Parkersburg. Mainly Arnolds Creek on my mom's side and around Ripley for my dad's family
