| <GrannyAnne> | Hi, Port! Welcome! |
| <imtangle> | Was a land patent sort of a ""claim"" like squatters rights or did the person BUY the land? |

| <VickyAL124> | porta is says so an so president signed over land ect on documents |
| <huntsvilleADM> | Anyone researching in Madison Co? |
| <Travis> | I think the land patent was the first individual person who owned the land. They either bought it from the State or were given a land grant by someone. |

| <GrannyAnne> | Me neither. |

| <huntsvilleADM> | If you live in Alabama and can do local lookups at the library or courthouse.......either for free or money......please let us know! |
| <imtangle> | Cindy, never mind. I checked and he died prior to then, but THANK YOU. |
| <GrannyAnne> | Travis, I'll have to send Karen an email and ask if any of the Prewitt's were from Alabama...that is obviously her husband's line. |
| <VickyAL124> | anyone needing look up in Tuscaloosa co AL is welcome to send email to vickyal_124@yahoo.com |
| <Travis> | OK, Granny, thanks. |
| <GrannyAnne> | Thanks ADM...many of us ""out of staters"" are willing to pay a reasonable fee for help in Alabama counties!!! |
| <Cindy> | Does anyone here ever visit the Huntsville Library? |
| <imtangle> | Can you really go to any AL state office and get a birth or death certificate in 15 minutes???? |
| <CyberLemon> | hi how |
| <huntsvilleADM> | hi, how--welcome! |
| <Travis> | Hi, How... |
| <imtangle> | hi how |
| <CyberLemon> | never heard of that imtangle |
| <huntsvilleADM> | Cindy--I'm in Huntsville.......but unfortunately, rarely make it to the library. (website keeps me too busy) |
| <GrannyAnne> | Hi how! Welcome! |
| <how> | hi everyone! |
| <VickyAL124> | not that I know of |
| <imtangle> | I think that's what the state site says. |
| <eelliott> | anyone with access to EARLY SETTLERS OF ALABAMA? |
| <huntsvilleADM> | Cindy--I have the Heritage Room info listed in my Alabama Genealogy pages: http://huntsville.about.com/cs/genealogy1/index.htm |
| <VickyAL124> | is that a book? |
| <huntsvilleADM> | eelliott--I have Early Settlers Of Alabama...... |
| <imtangle> | What is considered ""early?"" |
| <GrannyAnne> | imtangle, in my experience, the only place in Alabama that you can get birth/death certificates is from Montgomery. They are no longer kept by the counties. You cannot get a birth certificate unless the person was born 125 years ago (and they didn't keep records then!) unless you are immediate kin. |
| <huntsvilleADM> | I think it's only about a few counties.... |
| <huntsvilleADM> | imtangle. |
| <huntsvilleADM> | The state records......I don't know about in a few minutes......I think you have to wait and they send them to you. |
| <CyberLemon> | I have gotten death certs from the mail, but not births |
| <imtangle> | Yes? |
| <eelliott> | HuntsvilleADM are the entries very large for each family? |
| <imtangle> | interesting. I'll have to go back and revisit that info |
| <imtangle> | I had hoped to just make a trip there and knock it out |
| <Cindy> | What I'm looking for is a listing of the people in Jackson County who filed a claim with the ""Southern Claims Commission"" for damages they suffered during the Civil War. I saw the book several years ago, which had listed the actual claim numbers for each person that filed a claim. Unfortunately, I can't find the pages I copied from this book. |
| <huntsvilleADM> | eelliott.....it's really more of a book--not a good index. Not just listing of families and surnames......more history. |
| <CyberLemon> | imtangle, regarding ""early"" I imagine that would be early 1800's |
| <Travis> | WILSON, BARRON, BROTHERS, BLEVINS, CALVERT, in Winston & Walker Counties. |
| <CyberLemon> | and before, when Bama was getting settled |
| <GrannyAnne> | imtangle, there is a form that you have to fill out, and you have to send $12 per certificate. The form is available on the web. I think that I just typed in Alabama Vital Statistics and it came up on one of the sites that came up then. |
