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. The early years content has not been forthcoming as I had hoped. I have met several residents who have graciously helped jump start the idea of this web site. Since then, I had 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 were dedicated to the courageous families and the descendants of the Coal Miners that toiled there in the early to mid-20th Century.
