In 1992, Chambers Co. became the 54th county in Alabama to have their early probate records microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah. The Probate Judge agreed to assist with the microfilming project using the probate records including estate, marriages, deeds and wills dating from 1832 through 1927. Most of the records microfilmed are the ones presently stored in a vault inside the Probate Judge's office. Copies of the records microfilmed are available for use at the State Archives in Montgomery, AL and at the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City Library for national use. I have not obtained an inventory of the records microfilmed as of yet. I do have a list from Will Book #3 which covers Nov. 20, 1856 to Oct. 12, 1872. It covers the names of the deceased whose wills are recorded. A through B-- Abernathy, Samuel Adams, Joshua Allen, David G. Askew, B.S. Askew, J. Atkins, John Avery, T.J. Allen, Thomas Andrews, Mark Andrews, Milton Bachus, Francis M. Bailey, Jacob Bailey, Prudence Baker, Silas Baker, Thomas Sanford Beall, Thaddeus Beaty, Mary Beaty, James Billingslea, Cyrus Bishop, Ivy Black, Mary Emma Bowling, Fredericks Boyd, John Brooks, Thomas J.

Hi Sandel, Thanks! I will email Faye if you think she will not mind. Actually, I think our families may cross way back. I've been working on marriages and if I recall, one of your related families married one of my related families. When (and if) I get it all together; I'll send you the details. Thanks for your help on this. I really would like to find the original Will Books 1 and 2. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hi Loney, No I don't. Might check with faye. I think they are in the court house city clerks office though. I think if you gave faye a little she's not working right now she might go down and do it for you. How are you doing? I haven't heard from you for a while. Sandel

Hi Norma, I bet my cousin would be happy to for time etc. They charge you $1.00 a sheet to copy. Email: faye ingram at countrygirlbama@yahoo.com I know she's not working right now, but been down with a cold. Sandel BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com Seattle Surnames: Briskey,Brisky,Brisque,Demastus,Sutton,Hodnett,Moore,McIntosh willing to share and trade Also $10.00 a year for historical society Heritage of Chambers County chattahoochee valley Historical Society 3419 20th Ave Valley, AL 36854 Good luck Sandel BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com

Hi Cliff, I guess now they are in a building across the street. Shame that has to all not be taken care of properly. Everyone should write and have it donated to the historical society. Sandel BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com Seattle Surnames: Briskey,Brisky,brisque,Demastus,Sutton,Meadows,Hodnett,Moore,McIntosh willing to share and trade also we are starting a Briskey/Brisky archives downloading everything onto cds. My cousin started with 11 cds from things I took down, and we are trying to get others to do the same. And eventually donate a copy of all of it to the historical society for future use by family or researchers. Also setting up the family cemetary which is still there and put it on a 501(c)13 non profit so can try to get some grant money to help take care of and maintain the cemetary. It's in pretty rough shape. We found baby's graves no one knew about too across from the old house, which used to be part of the original road. I enjoyed it there and hope to go next year. Sandel

Hi Loney, Why don't you email my cousin faye. There were some old estate papers on Briskey family members. Back then they hand wrote them on paper. Also check with the historical society. But fayes email is: countrygirlbama@yahoo.com Heritage of Chambers County chattahoochee Valley Historical Society Cobb memorial Archives 3419 20th Ave Valley, AL 36854 Its like $10.00 a year or $15.00 per household I think. Also, we are trying to download things onto cds and make a Briskey/Brisky archives, and get other cousins to do the same. And eventually donate a copy to the historical society for people to use. She downloaded onto 11 cds all the things I took down. And cousin joyce has tons more. And going to let her do it. We are setting the cemetary up on a 501c13 non profit to preserve the cemetary to see if they can get some grant money to help maintain it. Slaves barried there from 1830's. Some 60 family members. Including small children who died of typhoid. Was also told of an indian chief being barried along the creek in back of the homestead trying to find out who. Gets more puzzling. I loved it and hope to go next year Sandel

Hi David, They we're pretty helpful this time when I went. Also, might email my cousin who is going back to check on more Briskey papers see if she might check for you. She hasn't felt too well lately. We both have bronchitis. Faye Ingram: countrygirlbama@yahoo.com Tell her I sent you. She's a nice lady. Sandel BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com Seattle

Is there anyone in the Lafayette area that will do court house research? I'm willing to pay for your time and copies ... thanks, Norma Search: David Crawford and son David Crawford - trying

Sandel, Do you know if any of the original wills are there? There were abstracts transcribed from them in the 1930's (I think) but now those original wills are "unavailable" - this from the Chambers County Will Books 1 nd 2 that was published some time ago.

Sandel, Is there any way, other than going there personally, to find out if our familys are included in the 1800s papers? When I was there several years ago the staff prided itself in being unhelpful.
