Our state motto. Montani Semper Liberi
I'm from West Virginia. No, my parents were not cousins. Yes, I have more than one tooth. In fact, I am only missing four of my real teeth. I did not marry any of my relatives. I've seen the good, the bad and some of the ugly in West Virginia. I've also seen how close and great a community can be after a coal mine disaster or flood or the Marshall plane accident. I've witnessed the natural beauty of the mountains I call home. Yes, I am from West Virginia. Montani Semper Liberi.
What people don't realize is intermarrying happened in many places including Maryland. If more people got interested in genealogy they would realize this.
Yes, I realize this. The reason that I addressed "intermarrying" is because it is one of many negative stereotypes associated with people from West Virginia. It's similar to the few or no teeth stereotype. Y'all understand?

I have a 2nd great grandfather buried in Ansted, WV who was a Confederate vet. I'm aware of other distant cousins in the area as well.
Don't take it personally, K31 is fixated on incestuous relations for whatever reason.I'm from West Virginia. No, my parents were not cousins. Yes, I have more than one tooth.
