    3. Announcing the First Offering of Volume I of Blount County, Alabama Cemeteries. Volume I of the three volume series covers in alphabetical order, Blount County cemeteries A - H. Although different printed sources were consulted in preparing these volumes, this book is not a reprint of earlier works, but represents All New Surveys of all the known cemeteries of Blount County as of 2002. Volume I is softbound (8 1/4" x 10 3/4"), 335 pages, with a hard, printed spine which will sit well on a bookshelf. It also contains a full color cover page and a Full Name Index (surname, first name) for each person represented with a readable gravestone. Other notes inside the book identify the burial location of most of the Blount County Soldiers from the 1907 Blount County Confederate Census, include hundreds of 19th Century Blount County marriage dates alongside the couple's burial information, and identify where brief biographies can be found in the original Heritage of Blount County Book (1972). Other notes include Township, Range, and Section Number for each cemetery and directions. Only 50 of these books are available. The Blount County Museum in Oneonta will offer a limited number before the end of March. These books are not available in any bookstore and only direct from the author or from the Blount County Museum. Volume II should be available in about 4 to 8 weeks. The third and final Volume III will follow in the Summer. For more information, email me at: [email protected] kindest regards, robin sterling
