Historic West Virginia Documents Recently Found

Amazing--these documents, some dating from the beginning of West Virginia's statehood in 1863, were discovered in a fireproof vault at the State Capitol.

I wonder if my father-in-law's birth record is in those documents? He'd always assumed they were lost in the great statehouse fire in 1927.
