I forwarded the info about the book sale and should have added more than what was in the posting. The company is Heritage Publishing Consultants Inc - 854 Lake Mitchell Rd, Clanton, AL 35045-8450, United States Phone: 1-800-568-1611 The web site is http://www.heritagepublishing.net Telephone 1-800-568-1611 to order by credit card The owners are David and Alice Bice. Most info about the books is on the first page with the sidebars that go into more detail. Stella answered your question about what the books contain. On the sidebar choose "What is an HPC Heritage Book?" and this will further answer your question. The web site also lists the books and prices that were in the original email. There is a "last name" index in each book, usually no first name. Almost every county in Alabama has had a book published. Many libraries have the complete collection and it may be that an archives or large genealogy library in your area has these books. Even if there is not an article about your direct family you may be surprised at the information about collateral lines you can find, simply by checking the index for last names or - as I did with the Jefferson Co., Ala. book - read each page - I was amazed at the information contained about my mother-in-law's family lines which I would not have found otherwise. Also, there is great information about the county formation and places that your family may have been very familiar with during the time they were in the county. Hope this helps.
