I am really pleased of the interest in the books. A man is helping me go through boxes, and boxes...and as he speaks only Spanish... I used to think I was pretty good, but he talks to me with sign as though I were two... so it must not be as good as I thought. Still he is too helpful, and will carry boxes off, when I wanted them near... so, I have yet to come across the box in which I placed the books in order to keep them separate. they are a little more separate than I had wanted.\ Yesterday, however, I came across a gold mine, that I had looked for before. There are several on line who have asked about Pratt history; or, Wallace history. Well, I have about a 12 pages history, mainly of Pratt...but it does cover some Wallace, especially Theodocia Pratt and her marriage to _____Wallace, etc. (my line) I will get more info and count pages, but it is considerably more detailed than the Heritage Bibb Co., book. I will tell you pages, and cost of xerox and shipping if any are interested....but later. sorry to be so very slow in this.

Can anyone tell me about Heard undertaker back in the 1920's. I am not sure when he went out of business. Where would his records be now? His name "Hill Heard" shows up on a relatives death cert from March of 1920. It says he was in Brent. I had a wonderful time there on my research trip last week. I found out a lot of good and bad things. I will take them both. I did find that the Centreville paper did not have African American obits for the 1940's. But the suggestion from a list member was well appreciated since I was able to cross out one more source. At least I and others won't wonder about that one any more. Also does anyone know Mr. Lockett that supposedly takes care of Coopers and or Centreville cemetery? I need to reach him. The LDS have come in to the basement at the Annex and organized and boxed a lot of the documents up. The rest of the huge books are still there. There are a few tax list from the late 1890's, only about 4 or 5 of them. There are no others, according to staff there. Would old tax records have had to be filed at the state level and would they have copies of those missing years. They said that they weren't even aware of the 1848 tax list that is out there. As Long As You Mention My Name .... I Live... Wilson, Duff, Clark, Mayberry, Kemp, Mason, Barron.....

That would be fine. I just can't pay right now. When we are adopted by the town, and begin to get our share of the tax money, then I will be able to buy things which we need.

Thank you Caroline, Before I go too far, let me comple a list of the books, and what I will need. I will also see about estimated postage. I copied several books for many people on the pre-1800 Logan list and frankly came out short a lot of money, and some even complained about something...dont remember what. right now I am looking for something that will at least pay costs and is quick and expedient. I would prefer a genealogist receive them than 1/2 priced books. Austin has some six stores. And there are some people on the webb who want isspn numbers, etc.... but first, let us see what I have. love to all, don ----- Original Message ----- From: "caroline" <carolineh@knology.net> To: <albibb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 6:36 PM Subject: Re: [ALBIBB] genealogy books > Don, I would think the library in Centreville would appreciate any books, > not only on Bibb but statewide.

I am a STOVALL descendant through a different line, but we are both descendants of Bartholomew Stovall who came to VA from England in 1684 on a ship called, "The Booth". I met Mrs Thomas at a local STOVALL dinner with many family members quite a number of years ago. She was a very pretty lady and so very nice. There was another family member who was also a member of the Birmingham Genealogical Society who was there as well. We were surprised to see one another and laughed about us both not knowing of the STOVALL connection between us. Unfortunately all I can remember is his first name, it was "Fred". He was a very nice gentleman. J Parker, Pinson, AL **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

Caroline, I had an aunt, Pauline Owen, that roomed with the Thomas family in Bibb county where she was a school teacher. She took me by the Thomas "Place" once to show me where they climbed an appple tree to get apples for making pies. Jioab and his siblings kept the house for years and would return for reunions. The house burned down in time and I am not sure that I would know wher to find it today. Larry Owen Parks P.S. Joab went on to become the President of Penn State University after he left Alabama. --------- Original message from "caroline" <carolineh@knology.net>: -------------- > I have a delightful book, "Hear the Lambs A-Cryin", by Mrs. Chamintney > Thomas of Russellville, Ala., written in 1975.

I knew a family member who was an Episcopal Priest in Louisiana and then in Israel. I think they still have reunions and it used to be on the land. I'm not sure where they have them today. ----- Original Message ----- From: <lparks3@bellsouth.net> To: <albibb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [ALBIBB] 2010 Census > Caroline, > I had an aunt, Pauline Owen, that roomed with the Thomas family in Bibb > county where she was a school > teacher.

I have a delightful book, "Hear the Lambs A-Cryin", by Mrs. Chamintney Thomas of Russellville, Ala., written in 1975. The jacket cover tells that she was born in Steele, Ala., and graduated from Centreville High School. One of her sons, Joab Thomas, became the president of the U of A. The book portrays " life and death on The Ditch during the Hard Times of the 1930's". The ditch is a hollow within a small town in northwest Alabama. The people are rural, southern and black. Mrs. Thomas preserved their words, lore, and individual turns of speech "through her life as teacher, counselor, employer and friend". I lived in Russellville when this book was printed. I remember her giving a presentation to our ladies study group and I think she said she got much of her information while a census taker, although this fact isn't mentioned on the book cover. I imagine it can be found via inter-library loan or a used book dealer online. I'm keeping this book out and reading it again. Caroline Horton, List Administrator 2010 Census Won't Use 21st Century Technology Because of Glitches, Adding $3 Billion Thursday, April 03, 2008 WASHINGTON - Technology problems will force the government to count all of the nation's 300 million residents the old-fashioned way in the 2010 census - with paper and pencil. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez was scheduled to tell a House subcommittee Thursday that the government will scrap plans to use handheld computers to collect information from the millions of Americans who don't return census forms mailed out by the government. The decision is part of a package of changes that will add as much as $3 billion to the cost of the constitutionally mandated count, pushing the overall cost to more than $14 billion. The project to develop the computers "has experienced significant schedule, performance, and cost issues," Gutierrez said in prepared testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee. "A lack of effective communication with one of our key contractors has significantly contributed to the challenges. "As I have said before, the situation today is unacceptable, and we have been taking steps to address the issues," he said. This was to be the first truly high-tech count in the nation's history. The Census Bureau has awarded a contract to purchase 500,000 of the computers, at a cost of more than $600 million. The devices, which look like high-tech cell phones, will still be used to verify every residential street address in the country, using global positioning system software. But workers going door-to-door will not be able to use them to collect information from the residents who didn't return their census forms. About a third of U.S. residents are expected not to return the forms. The Census Bureau plans to hire and train nearly 600,000 temporary workers to do the work. Interviews, congressional testimony and government reports describe an agency that was unprepared to manage the contract for the handheld computers. Census officials are being blamed for doing a poor job of spelling out technical requirements to the contractor, Florida-based Harris Corp. The computers proved too complex for some temporary workers who tried to use them in a test last year in North Carolina. Also, the computers were not initially programmed to transmit the large amounts of data necessary. Gutierrez, who oversees the Census Bureau, said officials there were unaccustomed to working with an outside vendor on such a large contract. The Harris Corp. issued a statement saying it still hopes to play a large role in the 2010 count. "The wireless handheld devices are part of a larger, multifaceted process to move from a 'paper culture' to a more 'automated' culture appropriate for the 21st century," the company said. Despite the problems, company officials said they were "encouraged that automation and the adoption of new technology is moving forward, even if in a more narrowly focused fashion." The 2010 census was already on pace to be the most expensive ever, even taking inflation into account. Officials now are scrambling to hold down costs while trying to ensure the count produces reliable population numbers - figures that will be used to apportion seats in Congress and divvy up more than $300 billion a year in federal and state funding. Harris Corp. was awarded a $596 million contract in March 2006 to supply the handheld computers and the operating system that supports them. The contract has since grown to $647 million. The success - or failure - of the census could have widespread repercussions. The Constitution has required a census every 10 years since the first one in 1790. It is used to apportion the 435 seats in the House of Representatives among the states. And states and many cities use census data to draw legislative districts. Population numbers are used to calculate billions in state and federal grants for transportation, education and other programs. Private businesses use census data to identify labor and consumer markets.
