don't forget to go to the forum frequently and see if there are any messages for you--people reading the transcripts are instructed to contact you there. Also, be sure and list all your SURNAMES--for a better chance at getting a match. There are two genealogy folders--one for Huntsville/Madison Co. and the other for the rest of the state. http://forums.about.com/ab-huntsville
