In a message dated 00-07-20 00:33:41 EDT, you write: << Yes, Margie I have the book, Church Records of Southeast Ala. Willie in California >> Willie... I'm wondering how much information is given about Bethel Primitive Baptist Church. Is it a history of the church? Copies of the minutes? Cemetery census? Also, does it tell where the church is located? Is it near Blue Springs? I apologize for asking so many questions. However, my Shirah ancestors were members of what was known as the Church at Bethel, in the mid and late 1800s. I think it is now known as Old Bethel Primitive Baptist Church. It is located near Blue Springs. I wonder if it is the same church that is listed in the book. Thank you for any information you might give me.............Betty

Seeking information on my gg-grandfather Nicholas Christian, born 1820 in GA. He was in the 1870 census for Barbour County, AL, died in Eufalia in the Fall of 1870. Obit from the Bluff City Times (furnished by one of the nice Barbour County listers) showed he died there and was buried in Georgetown. I have tried unsuccessfully to find where in Georgetown he was buried. The 1870 Barbour County, AL census, Eufalia, 1st Ward Page 10, 10/74 Nicholas Christian, age 51 M W born in GA, Clerk in Store $600. Also in this census was a listing at the same address for Nicholas Christian, age 22, M W Clerk in Store, born in AL. Page 11, Dwelling #11 - listed James Christian, age 53 M W Watcher at warehouse, born GA Celena Christian, age 47 F Keep House born SC Nicholas Christian, age 20 M Painting born GA Laoulus? Christian, age 2 M born AL I feel these families are related; James could very well be the brother of Nicholas (1820). Also noted is that James wife Celena was born in SC. Margret Wilson (1827) the wife of Nicholas, was also born in SC. The younger Nicholas Christian - age 22 - what relation was he to Nicholas - age 51 - living at the same address?? The only family I have listed for Nicholas Christian (1820) is from the Quitman County, GA 1860 Census: Nicholas Christian 40 Margret " 33 Ella M " 11 (my g-grandmother) Anna N. " 9 Emma S. " 7 Any help you can give me will be deeply appreciated.

Terri, Homer and Pat, Thanks very much for the info on Judge Brown. Pat - I think more and more that John Watkins Brown is tied into the Watkins family from Petersburg, Elbert Co., Ga. and Va.. I think his mother was a Watkins but haven't found the proof for any of this yet. I'll look through "Early Settlers of Alabama" again to see if I can find a lead. Let me know if you come across anything. Tom

Does anyone have any knowledge of a couple who lived near the Anderson Church in the early 1900's. They were Mindy (Arminda) Phillips and her husband Barry. We think the last name could be Campbell. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Sandra, Haven't seen your "Anderson" JP yet but will post it here if I run across it. Richard

Dear Ms. Jordan, I could not locate the President's email addrss and will send this to you to be given to him My name is Margie Daniels and I host several web sites. The sites are Barbour County and Geneva County Alabama. I have a problem. My sites have the cemeteries listed giving their location and those that are buried there. Your CART department has published a book listing the cemeteries in the Alabama counties. I volunteered and submitted information to the CART lab to help them gather the information. I was never told that this was going to be used to sell books. I was told that the information would be free to the public. I was also sent a copy of a map that I posted on the Barbour County site trying to get others to help identify the unknown cemeteries. I was promplty contacted and told that I was in violation of copyright infringment. I removed the map and asked that all of my material be returned to me and that I was withdrawing any permission I had given to use it. I was told that they had no record of any correspondence with me. I also asked that they not use information that was posted on the Barbour county site. In a email to me the CART lab admitted to surfing the county pages for the cemetery information. Today I have been advised of a page that is on your CART site that has copyright information. It clearly shows that the information came from the Barbour County site and then has your copyright seal on the bottom. http://www.as.ua.edu/geography/cart_lab/publications/volume2/barbour.htm I ask that you have all material that has been taken from Barbour County removed from the site. I also respectfully request that you inquire into how and where the information came from that the CART lab used to create the Alabama Cemetery Atlas. The Barbour County page is on Rootsweb.com's server they have just been bought by Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is in the business of selling genealogy information including cemetery locations and burials. They don't harvest our material and they own the server. I want to thank you in advance for your help in this matter. Margie Daniels CC Barbour County, Al.
