The town of West Union in Doddridge County, West Virginia, is 125 years old in July 2006. Now, why is that important to anyone who doesn't have Doddridge County roots?
The organizers of the celebration hope to be listed in the Guinness World Records. The plan is to be listed as having created a new world's record for the "Largest Family Tree Chart."
I suspect they will win. After all, nobody has ever submitted an entry before for the "Largest Family Tree Chart!" This will be a new category for Guinness.
Whether you have roots in Doddrige county or not, you may be interested in the events listed at http://westunionfest.org and especially at http://www.westunionfest.org/guinness.htm.
