Hi Tammy, I don't know if this will help you or not. But I did alot of research in Coosa County, Alabama myself. And when I contacted the Anniston Room at the Anniston Library. They had so much info on my Miller line that it was so overwhelming!! I got huge report from other researchers that had paid a professional genealogist to do the foot work in S.C. and Tenn. and Al. I also got bible records and court records and so much more. It did not cost very much as the info was all in folders already and they just charged me 10.00 for one hour to do the search, and then for the copies! It was well worth it! Just a suggestion. Take care, and good luck in your search. =) Cheryl ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Tammy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 7:50 AM Subject: [AL-CEN] Franklin's /Simmon's Coosa County > I have a big puzzle. > In the 1870 Coosa county Alabama census there is a J.T.
