Welcome.
This site was conceived when I started researching my family's genealogy
in March of 2000. I visited Eccles, WV twice in the last few years
which consisted of searches through county, state, church and
personal
records. I have met several residents who have graciously helped jump
start the idea of this web site. Since then, I have found an extended
family of many people whom I have never personally met but I feel
close to them because of our common coal mining bond.
These pages are dedicated to the courageous families and the descendants
of the Coal Miners that toiled there in the early to mid-20th
Century. These
pages are for you to enjoy and reminisce. Please
contribute your photos and documents! Please
include your full name.
Notice: December 23, 2007
- Our web hosting service will be moving this website to a new
server and we will lose our capability for searching. We are behind in updates of correspondence and
submissions and will add as soon as possible. Your financial support
is needed to keep this website up and running. A major re-design of
the site is currently planned.
My own time (numerous hours) is
my donation. I (with the help of a few wonderful viewers)
have been supporting the site since it began
in 2001. I do not profit from this endeavor............................Dennis
Chadra, Wheaton, IL (grandson
of Frank
