Can anyone suggest any resources in Calhoun County concerning an adoption of an orphaned child by a family member in this county sometime after 1880? My great-grandfather was apparently born a Trammell and adopted by a family member with the surname of White (exact relationship unknown) after the death of his parents. I would like to learn the names of his natural parents, as well as those of his adoptive parents and their relationship to him. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have never met my grandfather and would like the chance before it's too late. I don't know if he is still alive or not. My grandmother (Christine Crook) and her sister (Willie May Crook) married brothers(Rudolph and Pert Thomas). Christine and Rudolph divorced when my mother was about a year old. Willie May and Pert remained married and lived in or around Anniston. My mother saw her father only once but can't even remember what he looked like. My mother and I live in Hawaii and since it's very hard to find him through the miles, we need people from Calhoun Co. to help us. I don't even know if my Great-aunt Willie May is still alive, so I would love to get in touch with her. I have begun our family genealogy and I know nothing of my Grandfather's line. Please help if you can. Ask your neighbors and co-workers if they have heard of two brothers by the names of Pert (wife Willie May) and Rudolph Thomas of Calhoun Co. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Aloha; Debbie Davis jayrah@aloha.net 3/28/99

The four families of Allgood, Bynum, Cornelius, and Murphree were among the early settlers of Blount County, AL. Several branches of these families moved into other counties in northern and central Alabama, and some migrated west as more territories became states. Descendants of these families meet annually for a genealogy gathering and family reunion the first weekend in October in Oneonta, Blount County, AL. The descendants also publish a newsletter each March and September containing articles of interest to researchers of these four families, as well as allied families. The cost of the newsletter is $6 per year. Anyone interested in subscribing, or obtaining more information about the annual meeting, should contact me by private e-mail at the following address: mailto:rtreadway@knology.net Please do not respond through the list.

I wrote my Congressman about all this talk of charging us for internet access. Here is his reply. Dear James, Thank you for contacting me regarding your concern that a proposal being considered bt the FCC would charge customers of local telephone companies for Internet use. I appreciate hearing from you and having the benefit of your views. For over two years the FCC has been considering options to solve a dispute between local telephone companies, Under current law, If a customer of one telephone company, calls a customer who belongs to another telephone company, the company which originated the call must compensate the other company for handling the last leg of the telephone call. This "reciprocal compensation" paid by the telephone company is commonly very low, as incoming and outgoing calls between the companies often balance out. Individual state laws govern the amount of compensation that is paid by each telephone company involved. The proposal the FCC is considering involves the amount of compensation paid between telephone companies for calls through Internet Sepvice Providers. There has been some confusion regarding this proposal. This proposal will in no way affect charges customers currently pay for their Internet service. Most states have flat rates for local telephone calls which will prevent local telephone companies from passing onto their customers any excess costs this proposal may incur. In addition, telephone companies have been increasing their business due to many customers purchasing a second phone line specifically for the Internet, which should help compensate for any Cost increase. This proposal has not yet been issued for public comment, and the details are still being ironed out by the FCC. Many constituents have contacted me with concerns that if this proposal is issued, they will have to pay per minute for Internet use. As you know, telephone calls which cross state lines are considered long distance, and are subject to per minute charges. Telephone calls that remain in-state are considerel local, and are decided by state law. Though Internet Service Providers are often locally-based, their connections travel through other states. This has created some confusion over the juruisdiction of the telephone call: whether it should be considered long distance, or local. The FCC has not decided whether to establish these telephone calls as local or long distance. They expect to issue a final proposal within the next few weeks. However, whatever decision they make will not effect charges customers pay for Internet service. Under current law, Internet Service Providers are charged a flat rate for long distance telephone calls. This means that customers who use the Internet are also charged a flat rate, and will not be subject to a per minute charge. Again, thank you for contacting me. Your thoughts and comments are always welcome. With warm regards, I am. Very truly youirs, Bob Barr Member of Congress (7th District, Georgia)

A cousin has supplied you with the only known photograph of Remus, showing him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture are the words: Remus Starr: Horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison, 1895. Escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton Detectives, convicted and hanged, 1889. Pretty grim situation, right? But let's revise things a bit. We simply crop the picture, scan in an enlargement and edit it with image processing software so that all that is seen is a head shot. Next, we rewrite the text: Remus Starr was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and imitate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renown Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Uncle Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed. Now we give Uncle Remus a distinguished place inside the family tree, not hanging from it. --------------73346E09F39478820E3B5EBE--

I am posting this to warn others about problems with Census Microfilm Expeditors . I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it ( dumb on my part ) .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin

We are in the midst of compiling a listing of WALKER graves and would appreciate anyone's help. It will eventually be placed on the WALKER Web site. The address for what we have done so far is http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sueowens/walker/cemetery If you know of a WALKER grave please send it's location on to me . If possible include the Cemetery name, The county and State involved and a brief discription of how to get there. We would appreciate any help you may render and, although I read and type very slowly, all submissions will be included. I will send a message to all concerned when we are up and running.

I want to thank everyone who answered my query about Corn Grove and Joseph Springs. This list has been a great help. I did not know that one little query could generate so much help. Larry

Could anyone on the list give the approximate location of the Corn Grove enumeration district in Calhoun Co., AL during the 1850 Census. Also, where is the location of the Joseph Springs Baptist Church and directions for its location? Does it have a cemetery? Thanks for your Help Larry
