This site contains family history information and records for 2 family groups -- the Mottice family of northeastern Ohio and the Elliott family of northwestern West Virginia. Each family was located in these areas primarily during the 19th to the mid-20th century.
The focal individuals, or patriarchs, for each family are Grant E. Mottice of Waynesburg, OH and Bernard V. Elliott of Grantsville, WV. They each passed away during the middle of the 20th century and their children are now all deceased. Most of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still alive, and this site is designed primarily for them. Although some pictures and stories of those generations will be included here, the goal of this site is to accumulate, organize, and present data on the patriarchs, their children, and their ancestors.
For those viewers interested in the Mottice and related families, please go to Mottice Family History. For those interested in the Elliotts and their related families, please go to Elliott Family History. Each page also has drop-down menu tabs at the top where each family's archives can be reached.
We welcome both family members and non-family members to view these pages. We encourage everyone who reads these pages to, if they have knowledge or recollection, share through comments to the site and help fill in the gaps in our family histories.
