(I'm looking for a Josephine Mary Allen born about 1873 or 1875 in West Virginia and died sometime after 1910. I don't know if her maiden name was Allen or not, but I do know she married Henry Andrew Persinger on 17 Feb 1895 in Greenbrier, West Virginia. Any information is appreciated!)

I started researching my family's history several years ago, but have been fascinated by history and stories all my life.

I've researched several different families but am particularly interested in the Persingers, Helmicks, Hedricks, and Vandevenders of Pendleton County, West Virginia. Any information passed on is helpful! Eighteen months ago I began searching for Persingers and Helmicks for my mom who didn't know anything about her grandparents' heritages. Since, its become my main project and has shed light on many fascinating and strange details about the people I share blood with.
