[Genealib] Southeast Alabama books... Just to make you aware...

[Ceya]

For your information...    Trying to get the word out and make you aware...


Craig Remington, head of the cartographic lab at the University of Alabama, 
has--over the years--had his class go out and locate cemeteries in Alabama, 
and give directions to it.  He appreciates any errors being corrected and/or 
additions to his rather thick book.   The book is still for sale and has 
excellent maps with known, unknown, etc. cemeteries marked, etc.   You 
really should email Craig and order his book.  Also send any corrections to 
cemeteries, send information on  cemeteries not in book, etc. Email Craig 
at:   cartlab at bama.ua.edu     In the subject line put:

                    Attention: Craig Remington


Also, I invite you to join The Southeast Alabama Genealogical and Historical 
Society, Inc.  (SEAGHS).   I co-founded this society in 1981 with Helon 
Cutler and it has been going ever since.  We publish a quarterly, Wiregrass 
Roots, which is a benefit of membership.  We also try to make you aware of 
what is available on southeast Alabama for researchers.

The books you are referring to, must be the books from the estate of a 
friend of mine who died.  We sold most of the books for her grandson; but, I 
will have to see if there are any left.   Please email me again when I have 
time to check on this.

A friend of mine, Mrs. Sarah Fowler, has just published her book on "A 
Window in Time:  The 1860 Dale County, Alabama Census" w/annotations on 
almost each family in Dale County.   If you are interested in purchasing 
this new publication, please email Sarah directly:   rootsnall at aol.com


SEAGHS is presently working on inventorying Memory Hill Cemetery (Dothan, 
Houston County, Alabama  and the book (only 50) will be quite thick.  It is 
being typed now.

SEAGHS also published--last year--An Index to History of Henry County, 
Alabama by Mrs. Marvin Scott.  There are still a few copies of that for 
sale.  Email:  rdvalky at aol.com if you are interested in that book 
(softbound).

A friend and I are working on the 1820 Alabama Census (whole state 
alphabetized)  with some information slightly before and right after.  It 
may be a little ways off yet as we both have been very busy!  It will be 
advertised in SEAGHS' Wiregrass Roots when it is ready--among other sites.

Thanks for emailing.
