Hello Friends, In today's Daytona Beach, FL News Journal on the front page of the local section is an article concerning the preservation of a black cemetery in Flagler County, Florida--here is a link that article--you will have to type the address in just as it is because the rootsweb lists do not permit "links"--- (it is very interesting reading and being a florist in Flagler County I have been in this cemetery hundreds of times-- _http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/Flagler/03FlaglerFLA G01100205.htm_ (http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/Flagler/03FlaglerFLAG01100205.htm) Basically this article is telling us that the History Channel on TV has a grant program for among other things old historic cemetery preservation and repair. Anyone who might be interested in Preserving an old "historic" family cemetery would do well to read the above article and then read about this grant program at _http://www.saveourhistory.com/_ (http://www.saveourhistory.com/) which even has an application for a grant click site. Also while I am at it-----if you have not yet discovered the West Virginia births, deaths, and marriage records online where you can print off the actual document without charge----you are missing the boat completely--AND IT IS ALL FREE--the site is _http://www.wvculture.org_ (http://www.wvculture.org) I have spent many, many hours there already and I will be WEEKS getting all the information there--remember all of WEST VIRGINIA was part of Virginia until about 1860-1865 and that Virginia info is now stored in West Virginia Counties. Do hope you will find as much as I have. Sincerely, Carlisle Bowling 74 Sanchez Avenue Ormond Beach, FL 32174-5334 386-672-7966 (http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/Flagler/03FlaglerFLAG01100205.htm) To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
