Index to Hardesty's Atlases of West Virginia

Index to Hardesty's Atlases of West Virginia

In 1975 the West Augusta Historical and Genealogical Society published an Index to Hardesty's Atlases of West Virginia compiled by Wes Cochran of Parkersburg, West Virginia. The atlases were published in the early 1880's. The biographical sketches found in these volumes are a valuable asset to people working on the genealogy of the residents of West Virginia during that time.

The index lists the male subject of each personal history sketch, and the maiden name of his wife or wives. For example: John Doe 7-150, indicates that John Doe can be found in Volume Seven, Page 150. Below is an alphabetized list of the counties indicating the volume in which the county can be found.

I own a copy of the index that I recently found in a box of my genealogy documents. I am willing to do name look-ups. I do not know where the volumes themselves can be found.
