Capon Valley [West Virginia]: Its Pioneers and Their Descendants 1698 to 1940 Volumes I and II

This two-volume set "contains information and names of thousands of people" who have a connection to the Capon Valley of West Virginia. As the title suggests, the author often focuses on one pioneer at a time and then follows the family line through to the time of the books' original printings. During the process, much genealogical information is given about many different branches of the pioneer's family tree. Notes or brief sketches are included about the lives of those mentioned. A large amount of historical information is given about the region, not only by county, but occasionally by town. The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a "real" book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numers will match the page numbers for all of the main text, as well as the index. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep page numbering consistent.
