Hello, Today I ran into a new search, I am wondering if any one out there has ever had to search for a train accident? I am searching For a Wiley Hogan who was killed between Mississippi and Mobile, Al. All I can find is he was killed between 1904 and 1913. Does any one know if there is a list of train sites, train accidents, or etc. I am presuming he was killed by the southern pacific or the old gulf lines. I really don't know where to start, I have exhausted all census, and Alabama sites I can find, Any help would be greatly appreciated, Gloria

Would they have one as early as 1839? And could I ask for a search by e-mail?

The Genealogy and Local History Division of the Mobile Public Library does have Mobile newspapers on microfilm that go back to then.

The Genealogy and Local History Division of the Mobile Public Library also has other records on microfilm susch as funeral home records, burial records, etc. which are many times more helpful that obits as they contain information not found in obits.

The Genealogy and Local History Division of the Mobile Public Library keeps a vertical file of clippings, but I'm fairly certain they don't go back anywhere near that far. Many of the old clippings, including obits, from the Mobile Press Register were given to the City of Mobile Archives. However, for the most part the paper didn't have clippings going back that far. There's a small chance there may have been one for your ancestor, but I largely doubt it. (I'm a former editor at the paper.) There are usually exceptions in both cases for prominent people. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Lewis [mailto:kudzuarms@telesouth1.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 9:34 AM To: AL-MOBILEBAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AL-MOBILEBAY] Mobile obituaries Does anyone know if there are any old obituaries for Mobile Co, Mobile city for the years 1935 and there abouts?

Dear list serve colleagues, Are any activities being planned that involve the descendants of the first families of Mobile? I looked at the Colonial Louisiana web site and could not identify any activities in particular. Thanks everyone, for any information or leads you may have. Sherill

Thought this interesting...from the Ancestry Weekly Digest. MYFAMILY.COM AND RELATIVE GENETICS PARTNER TO DELIVER GENETIC GENEALOGICAL SERVICE MyFamily.com and Relative Genetics, a world-class genomics laboratory and a leader in establishing definitive biologic relationships through DNA testing and analysis, have entered an exclusive partnership to distribute the Ancestry(TM) GenetiKit(TM), the most complete and extensive DNA test available. The partnership and new product combine traditional genealogy with the latest technology making it easier to answer the question: "Where did I come from?" The Ancestry GenetiKit will be introduced at GENTECH, the conference for genealogy and technology in Boston, Massachusetts, on 25 January 2002. The test will be available exclusively through Ancestry.com, a member of the MyFamily.com network, on 25 January and can be ordered online for $219.00. The home collection kit comes with a swab to painlessly and easily collect a sample of cells from the inside of your cheek, which is then returned to the laboratory where DNA testing is completed within a few weeks. The Ancestry GenetiKit can be used to test for paternal-line relationships through a test known as the Surname Test or Y Chromosome Test. The Surname test analyzes twenty-three markers making it the highest resolution commercial Y-chromosome test in the world. These markers identify the provider's genetic identity inherited from his ancestors. Other tests available using the GenetiKit include the Mitochondrial DNA Native American Haplotype Test and Mitochondrial DNA Sequencing Test used for establishing maternal relationships. The genetic identity of the provider will be compared against a database of over nineteen thousand DNA samples, the world's largest database of genetic genealogical samples. The results that will be reported to the provider include an analysis of the provider's personal genetic identity and a comparison with surnames contained in the database to determine relationships. Ancestry.com users can use their personal genetic identity to find other Ancestry.com users who are living relatives. Furthermore, if a match is determined with another sample in the database, the provider will receive ancestral information on that match including a name, place, and date. "By gathering genetic data from populations throughout the world, Relative Genetics and The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, in conjunction with development from the BYU Center for Molecular Genealogy, are building the world's largest database of genetic populations. These populations are sorted by place and time so finding out where and when your genetic ancestors may have lived is easier," said Dr. Scott Woodward, PhD., Professor of Microbiology and faculty member of the Molecular Biology Program at Brigham Young University, Laboratory Director of Relative Genetics. Genealogy has traditionally been done using records of people's names in association with dates and places. Almost every genealogist knows that name changes and dates are not recorded and places can be forgotten. Ancestry.com and Relative Genetics have teamed up to help fill in the missing pieces. "You carry within your DNA a record of your ancestry," said Tom Stockham, CEO of MyFamily.com. "The Ancestry GenetiKit test accesses the only record that never gets lost; your genetic heritage, DNA. By combining those DNA records with more than 1.5 billion names we currently have available online, we will offer our customers an unsurpassed ability to build family pedigrees and establish relationships between distant relatives."

Dear Barbara: As I noted in another post, the old poor farm was located on land now occupied by the University of South Alabama Medical Center. I used to work for the Mobile Press Register and believe I remember reading in our old clippings file about the poor farm. Many of those clippings have now been transferred to the Archives of the City of Mobile. The director, Jay Higginbotham, can tell you if he has those files. You might also check with the University of South Alabama Photographic Archives. They may have both written and photographic records. Good luck!

Does any one have access to the following book: NATURALIZATION RECORDS MOBILE, ALABAMA 1833-1906 By Clinton P. King & Meriem A. Barlow Gateway Press Inc. I have Daniel's Declaration of Intention of June-30-59 as found on page 51 I am ordering a copy from South Alabama Archives for his declaration of Oct-23-68. I received Email from Betty Shaw some time back indicating that Daniel HANIFAN/HANAFAN had Citizenship granted 8 July 1868 by the City Court of Mobile as found in Book 7--page 450. I do not have access to that book but would someone be so kind and look for that names or names and let me know if that is correct before I send my order for copies? I would deeply grateful.

Barbara You might want to visit the Alabama page of the Poorhouse Story web site at: http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_alabama.htm I did not see anything specifically for Mobile, but it makes for interesting reading/history.

Has anyone gone to the village to research ancestors from Mobile. I am going this summer to check out information on the JUZAN/LIETTE family line that dates back to late 1600s. Ann in Atlanta.

Seeking information on my ancestor, James (B.?) HOLLEY, as found in the 1870 census of Itawamba County, MS: James HOLLEY WM 29 Farmer (born in) AL This would put his birth around 1841. Unable to determine parents/ancestors of this James HOLLEY. Recently found information on Company G, 38th Regiment, Alabama Volunteers, C.S.A. - Mobile & Coosa counties, AL Several HOLLEYs are found on this muster roll: 2nd Lt. James HOLLEY, age 28 from Mobile County, AL Sgt. J.B. HOLLEY, age 23 from Coosa County, AL Cpl. W.M. HOLLEY, age 19 from Coosa County, AL Unable to locate my James HOLLEY in the 1860 census. Have tried several states/counties. My James HOLLEY should have been between 18-20 years of age in the 1860 census if the 1870 MS census record is correct. Need help here. Does 1860 census of Mobile County, or Coosa County, list a James HOLLEY (HOLLY/HOLLIE/HALLY ??) who would be between 18-20 years of age ?? respectfully submitted, (Mr.) Layne A. HOLLEY
