found them to be a very valuable source of information when researching the Civil War records and Pension Records of Enoch

A great site for Death Records in West Virginia is:
I found many records for my ancestors there, but remember that sometimes a name might be spelled differently. I
was only able to find the record for Van Sarett by looking under Surrett.
Census records are a big help in finding useful information, the 1850 and 1860 records for Wyoming County and Raleigh
County were invaluable to me. I was able to obtain years of birth for a number of ancestors, as well as siblings' names.

Research Tips
Some tips about researching a family tree:
Be sure to evaluate the source of your information. Remember, you can't
believe everything you read!
Remember, most everyone has two family names: your father's, but also your mother's.
Don't feel you must restrict your research to just your paternal family tree.
