Thanks Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: albibb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:albibb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of caroline Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 1:08 PM To: BIBB Subject: [ALBIBB] Books digitized on FamilySearch.org The following was written by FamilySearch: FamilySearch Digital Preservation Initiative Hits a Milestone Salt Lake City, Utah-FamilySearch International reached a milestone today with the digitization of its 25,000th publication online. It began the initiative in 2007 and is ramping up to do even more-and faster. The effort targets published family, society, county, and town histories, as well as numerous other historical publications that are digitally preserved and made accessible for free online. The digital publications can be searched at www.FamilySearch.org (Go to FamilySearch.org, then click Search Records, then click Historical Books). The above notice was in Dick Eastman's Daily newsletter. Today I've browsed Alabama cemeteries from a publication called "Alabama Cemetery Records", copied by the Southern States Mission, 1946. Only a few cemeteries in each county are listed and then not every burial. But . . . there are some interesting notes by some of the names such as for Caffee Cemetery in Bibb, naming the relationships such as husband of, wife of, son of. The age of this document may help you locate old graves that are no longer visible if you are lucky enough to find your "missing person". The listing of relationships may also help identify that person whose parents you don't know. Of course, any new info needs to be proven by a more reliable source, if possible. I put in the keyword "ALABAMA" - no time today to finish perusing all that is there for Alabama.
