Added a page for the
Nichel (Nicholl) Cemetery
in Mason County, thanks to research by both WVCPA and Nicholl family
researcher and descendant, Dawn Wood. Also added an old photo of the
original Pine Grove Church of Cologne District in Mason County on the
bottom of the
Pine Grove Cemetery page, thanks to Dawn's sharing it with us.
Our computer system has been down over the
weekend - a nasty attack from a recent 'update' from Microsoft (don't
you just *love* Vista some days?!). After several hours of work in
restoring the system from a prior mirror and off-system file backups,
we're back up and running. So much for a long three-day weekend of
catching up on the 'to-do' list! Such is the life of a humble non-profit
organization that wears all it's own hats...

Added a page for the Boggess Cemetery

If the WVCPA web site is of value
to you, and if you have never made a contribution or have not done so in
a long time, we ask for your help, however modest, in supporting the
site's existence. Readership has expanded dramatically, with nearly
3,000 visits, over 9,000 page views, and over 2,000 individual readers
in November 2009 alone. Donations
will be deeply appreciated.
Remember, too, as we enter 2010
to continue make use of the
GoodSearch
search engine at
www.goodsearch.com,
specifying "WVCPA" as your designated charity. GoodSearch
is a search engine with a unique social mission. It’s powered by
Yahoo, so you get the same great search results. GoodSearch donates
50% of their advertising revenue to the nonprofits and schools
selected by their users. This past week, WVCPA received a check
for $77.59 from GoodSearch as a direct result of your use of the
search engine in 2009! Now you, our supporters, can make a
difference in the work of WVCPA, or any nonprofit charity of their
choice that is included among the registered organizations on the
GoodSearch site, simply by changing the way they search the
Internet! Anytime anyone uses the GoodSearch site to search on the Internet
and specifies WVCPA as their favorite charity, GoodSearch will set
aside a portion of their revenue to contribute WVCPA (an average of
$.013 per search the past two years). Over the years, many of you
have expressed the desire to donate to WVCPA, but have not had the
means - now you can without it costing you a penny! Check out
GoodSearch for details, and tell your friends and family so they can
help contribute as well!
Happy New Year!
As the old year comes to a close, and the New Year
opens up before us, Joel and I want to wish WVCPA's faithful viewers,
and especially our dedicated volunteers and contributors from across the
country, a very Blessed New Year. We look forward to continue working
with you in 2010 to rescue the precious old burial grounds of West
Virginia. Thank you for your loyalty to us and to the mission of the
West Virginia Cemetery Preservation Association!

Follow us now on facebook -
if you have a facebook account (they're free, by the way), you can
follow our activities on this popular social-networking site. We're
taking a tentative leap into this 'modern technology', to explore the
possibilities of how we can provide a more interactive forum for our
regular viewers to interact both with us here at WVCPA, but also with
one another through Discussions on our facebook site. Visit us on
facebook today and become a fan!
