ADM,  yes,  I know most of them have to be related in some way.

<Travis>   

Cynthia & ADM,  are you guys related to Goober???

<huntsvilleADM>   

Mine were in Jackson Co....think they came from Tennessee.

Hi GaCathy.

<marfa>   

Hi GaCathy

<huntsvilleADM>   

hey,  GaCathy--welcome!

<GaCathy>   

thanks glad to be here

<Cynthia>   

I descend from Josiah Lindsey born 1804 NC,  was in Lauderdale Co before 1819.

<mickey43>   

Teacher, my first cousin Jan Carver Whitaker lives and teaches in Columbus...she grew up in Sylacauga and Anniston..Army brat's daughter

<huntsvilleADM>   

I don't think so,  Travis....but never thought about it...maybe someone has done his genealogy. Should look it up.

<huntsvilleADM>   

are you here for the Alabama genealogy chat,  GaCathy?

<GaCathy>   

yes

<teacher36870>   

Could I have trouble with my ancestors in AL because they were sort of passing through on their way somewhere else? James ALLEN's dad had property valued at over $27, 000 in Macon/Lee County at one time. Guess probate records need to be checked on that,  right? I have made only one visit to a courthouse since I began this 2 years ago. Can't seem to get to Opelika or Dadeville.

<huntsvilleADM>   

If so,  please share your SURNAMES with us.....and the counties in Alabama you are researching.

<huntsvilleADM>   

GaCathy--is this your first time here?

<huntsvilleADM>   

teacher....sometimes people in chat or in the forum will look things up for you...if you don't live in Alabama.

<GaCathy>   

EZELL,  WILSON,  DYESS,  REVEL,  POSEY,  MOBLEY,  all from around Coffee Pike Geneva Counties

Anniston - as in Ft. McClellan? I did basic training there in 1964. Long time ago.

GaCathy--it's been too long....hope you'll come back more often! Some people only read the latest chat transcripts.....so the more you come,  the better change you have of making a connection.....(a lot more people read the transcripts than come to chat...a shame,  really)

<huntsvilleADM>   

Mickey,  are you related to Bill Easterling? from the Huntsville Times?

<marfa>   

That I agree with,  ADM

<huntsvilleADM>   

that's ""chance"" not ""change""! LOL

<teacher36870>   

Mickey,  ironically I was raised in Iowa/Nebraska and had no knowledge of AL connections until 2 years ago. Mom died in 1977 with no info about family related to her kids. Here we are digging around now.
