Mallon has continued the series although her name is not carried on the work. Articles after vol. 17:2 appear under the above title with no author listed, See 6009.1.      Source:  Passenger and Immigration Lists Index   I learned that Lucille Mallon passed away about 10 years ago, and so far nobody seems to have any knowledge of her prior genealogical work. Q-1 Are the Court Minute Books, Mobile County Alabama accessible in some way? I tried researching the Mobile County Court Minute Books for 1855 but have no luck at finding the Naturalization entries, although there are entries from newspapers in the 1990s! Q-2 How can I get information on Frederick from the Deep South Genealogical Quarterly. Vol. 9:3 (Aug. 1972), pp. 19-25; vol. 9:4 (Nov. 1972), pp. 89-93.          Q-3 Going through the Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, we have found no arrivals lnto Port of Mobile in the 1850s time range. How can we find out about such arrivals ? William and Frances Heim
