I am a native of Roanoke, VA, and I grew up in Botetourt County, VA (with paternal and maternal ancestry mostly originating from within the state, including -BUT NOT LIMITED TO- Botetourt/Craig/Montgomery/Roanoke Co.s and far SW Va., incl. Wise, Scott, Russell Co.s,...and Some WV too for good measure (Monroe Co., WV -Alderson,WV). Even some Northerners in this Southern gal's family tree! (OH, PA, MD)

I hope to learn more about my ancestry through find-a-grave. I do not research genealogy professionally, but if any of you could possibly be a relative, I would be more than happy to share any information I may have.

The surnames I am researching include (paternal side) KESSLER/KESLER, LEHMAN/LEMAN, HOUSMAN, ECKISS/ECKESS, BROCE, MEADOWS, HARDY, McGUIRE, HALE...
(maternal side)POSTON, VERMILLION, ALDERSON, DOUGHERTY, CARTER, JONES, BICKLEY, DICKENSON, McCONNELL, HALE...
