I am trying to locate the birthplace of Wesley Calvin (W.C.) GEORGE who was
born 29 Dec 1840 in Virginia. His obituary lists his birthplace as
Shanadvak, Virginia. I have never been able to find this name. (It may be a
misinterpretation of Shenandoah.) I have been searching since 1989 without
any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
