Footnotes

1. ↑ Category: West Virginia Appalachians is the "landing-level" category (for people profiles). "West Virginia Appalachians" is a project category. People profiles should also be categorized by location, which this Workspace page is intended to facilitate. For space pages about West Virginia Appalachians, see Category: Northern Appalachia Team, Category: North Central Appalachia Team, Category: Central Appalachia Team
2. ↑ ^{2.0 2.1} As listed by the Appalachian Regional Commission (here) as of 6 July 2022.
3. ↑ Note that Virginia location categories distinguish between USA and pre-USA counties. See the county categories under Category: Virginia Colony (before 4 July 1776) and Category: Virginia (for logistical purposes, such as categorization, WikiTree uses 4 July 1776 as the start date for USA). The 50 counties that became West Virginia on 20 June 1863 have Virginia county categories that should be used before that date (see the table under West Virginia above). See also the Virginia Project's County table.
