Purpose of Art's List Art's List is about a particular area of West Virginia, West Virginia State Route 87, often referred to as 87, This area, the "hills and hollers" on either side of this road, is located in Mason and Jackson Counties. This Web Site explores the people who settled this area. It is my belief that this area in West Virginia was and is unique in its culture and the diversity of its people. They were rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, they came over on the Mayflower, signed the US Constitution, fought in the wars to preserve our freedoms and their beliefs. Where did our ancestors come from? Where did their descendents go?  This Web Site offers possible answers to some of those questions.   I started with my name and like a pebble dropped in a pond the circles have grown larger and larger.  The more I pull the string the more string there is to pull.    Reunions Send me the date of your family reunion and  and I will post it in the Reunions section of ART'S LIST.  Click on REUNIONS  Hughes-Stover Family Reunion (Lenoard Everette & Elva Mae Stover Hughes Family)  will be held June 21 2008 at  Columbia Pavillion, Coonskin Park, Coonskin Drive,  Charleston WV.  For more info click Here  Favorite Links - Remember to use your back button after visiting a LINK to return to ART'S LIST My research would have been much harder if it were not for the following sites.

You can even send an email just to say Hi! or Hey as Chester used to say. Just Send me an email to Announcement Problems With Data The last upgrade disassociated some families.  Wives appear with children but no husbands, husbands appear with children but no wives.  Not all families were affected by this upgrade. There are 3,688 families and 12,419 individuals on Art's List (and growing).  Making corrections is is a manual process, there is no way to automate the reconnection of families.  I am working to get this corrected.  Please be patient.  Meantime if you have questions send me an email and I will answer has soon as possible.
