Getting started in identifying parcel and interest

West Virginia Mineral Rights Doddridge County, WV
1

Like others here, my two brothers and I have inherited oil and gas rights (maybe more) in Doddridge. I’ve no info on it at all, including where any proceeds are going. I have the ownership lineage and some old memories.

Burnett (John and James), to Clara Burnett (John’s wife) to Lois Rita Burnett-Ludwick/Frank William Ludwick to Paul (me), Scott (deceased), and Craig (alive and well).

I think it may have something to do with St Mary’s church and cemetery.

Thanks for reading,

Paul

Paolo . . . you have come to the right place. Folks on this forum are awesome in helping us “newbies!” Unfortunately, I am so new to mineral rights that I’m not knowledgeable enough to help you. But I’ll try to offer a suggestion that I hope is correct!!!

Perhaps the Ludwicks had 1099s or a file of mineral right records. That might help you find the well operators as a start.

@Paolo, you might try the Doddridge County Property Search with an Index Search on the names you know. This should at least give some location clues.

Thanks very much for getting back to me. I was able to find a parcel # in my dad’s papers. Now I’ll run that down.

Thanks again,

Paul

Thanks very much. I now have a parcel type and number.

This is starting to play into my hobby of finding artifacts.

Thanks much,

Paul
