The Shenandoah Valley is rich in family history records for those who want to research their ancestors who may have traveled the trails and roads of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The Shenandoah Valley generally includes the counties formed from Augusta and Frederick Counties that generally hold the watershed of the Shenandoah River. These counties are Augusta, Berkeley (now WV), Clarke, Jefferson (now WV), Frederick, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Page, and Warren Counties. We will sometimes include news from five West Virginia counties that were in old Frederick County, but not in the watershed area. They are Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral, and Morgan Counties.
