Civil War: West Virginia

[Lubliner]

I came upon the following site by chance the other night. It has a load of biographical material centered on West Virginia, and I wasn't sure where I should place it, nor how well known it may be. Here:
Civil War: West Virginia - Regiments, History, Books, Genealogy, Biographies, Rosters (lindapages.com)
Thanks,
Lubliner.

Great resources for W.V. researchers

After I posted it I saw the thread below where it probably belongs;
Helpful Online Research Search Links, O.R.'s, Dyer's, Fox, etc. | Researching Your Civil War Ancestry (civilwartalk.com)
Thanks,
Lubliner.

Thanks, good info interesting I found Jacob S Boak as being listed in the Jackson Horse Artillery. I've always seen it listed as Asby's Horse Artillery?

Thanks for posting! I've been trying to get additional resources and information about the war in West Virginia. It's another one of those areas that never seems to get the level of attention it deserves.

Thanks for posting. Led me to a Hull family research project I had never seen before, 138 pages of information about our family both direct and extended. In the past two weeks, I found direct line ancestors who sat at the first Thanksgiving table together (direct line to both my Ma and Dad) but also numerous direct line ancestors and their brothers who wintered at Valley Forge (one of my dad's 4xgreat uncles died of sickness at Valley Forge.) Last year I came across some reference materials to check out the Federal side of my dad's family who enlisted in the WVA Infantry and Cavalry (8 family members I had not previously know about) and found that in addition to 2 family members who died at Point Look Out, 2 members of my grand mother's family died at Andersonville.

I am very humbled by the responses. Thank you all. @Dave Hull it appears your Yankee side wasn't too lucky, (condolence). There is so much on the web to investigate with this fantastic tool, it truly makes more than just the sky the limit.
