Hi Travis

<Granny> 

Hey Travis!

<Larry> 

My WILLIAMS was born in NC in 1832

<MizB> 

hi Travis

<Granny> 

Most of the surnames that I am searching for in Alabama migrated from NC originally.

<marfa> 

Richardson's and Hales were from N.C. also

<Larry> 

Most of the WILLIAMS in Pickens County in 1850 were from NC>

<Travis> 

Well, I guess I got on just in time to get off, huh????
