NEW
The Wayne County Genealogy Society has just completed an updated version of the 1920 WC Census book. The first book was published almost 20 years ago. The book contains 561 pages. We have converted it from street address to alphabetical format. We have corrected several mistakes in the annotations, and have added numerous new annotations. Also added are all the marriage records available throughout the entire state of WV. This is a massive improvement from the original. The front cover has a photo of the early Methodist brick church, built in the mid-late 1800's. If you have an interest, you may order from WCGHS. The price is $65 PP.
