The History of the Biggs and Shingleton Families and other West Virginia and Virginia Genealogies

Please click on either Surnames or the Name List above to see all of my genealogy research in "tree" form. When you want to return to this page, simply click on Table of Contents at the bottom of the page. From here, you can navigate to my other websites!

Surnames I am researching include: Giles, Monroe, and Cabell Counties - Biggs, Ballard, Broyles, Alford, McCallister, McGhee, Pullen, Campbell, Mauzey, Miller, Reiner and Swope Hampshire County - Shingleton, Pownall, Glaze, Ferryman, Long, McBride, McDonald, Miller, Malick, Poland, Timbrook and Ruckman.

I am getting involved with DNA projects at World Families Network for my Biggs and Shingleton lines.  I encourage anyone who is researching the Biggs or Shingleton/Singleton families to participate so we have enough information to enable us to hopefully get through some brick walls.

There are many other surnames on my site - I have attempted to have as complete a history as possible for all branches of the families.  Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress.   I did make an interesting discovery last year - it appears I could be descended from royalty, including William the Conqueror and Charlemagne! Go to Cool Ancestors to see some of my royal ancestors as well as some interesting folks from different time periods in America!
