We need a little more info to go on.

 

Your father's name & date of birth will help tremendously. Especially in getting an idea of the age of Hattie.

 

Were Hattie and Harmie Hedrick married?

 

I do quite a bit of WV research and will be happy to see if I can help out any. Feel free to email me at:

> My father was born to Hattie Harvey and spent the first 5 or 6 years of 
> his life near Seneca Rocks. We recently visited his home place. I'm not sure 
> exactly what the area is called, but just this past weekend, my father 
> returned there for the first time in over 20 years to take his children to the 
> land where he grew up. I know that we took a road across from the 4U Motel, 
> followed it past a small white church at the base of a rock outcropping, 
> and parked at a gate where we continued on foot through a meadow with a 
> dilapitated barn, on an overgrown path to a site at the bottom of some 
> foothills. The home was no longer standing, but my dad vividly remembers details of 
> its layout.

> Here's where I need help. My grandmother Hattie was adopted by a woman I 
> believe was named Ida. Harvey is my grandmother's maiden name, but that is 
> absolutely all I know of her family. Oh, and I believe she may have had 
> several brothers and sisters. We do not know who they are or why the children 
> were given up for adoption. My father also knows very little of his paternal 
> heritage, as his father died young and was not active in my dad's 
> upbringing. I believe his surname was Hedrick. He may have been named Harmie (or 
> this could be my dad's grandfather's name). I know that my dad is also 
> somehow related to the Harmons/Harmans of the Seneca Rocks area. My dad is very 
> tight-lipped about his family history, but this may be because he knows very 
> little of it. Do any of these names or circumstances sound familiar? Can 
> anyone help me to piece together my family's past. My brothers and I are 
> very curious about our roots and believe this kind of knowledge would do my 
> dad a world of go!
