Boyce, I have personally been to the Cherokee County library, and their chief resource that I can find nowhere else is the "Cherokee County Cemetery Book." Title should be self-explanatory--a listing of who occupies what cemetery. A sereies of Floyd County transcriptions by Shirley Kinney from Floyd County, Ga, are valuable also. Cherokee Co. Library has a few of these. Library here at Huntsville has more of them. Cherokee Co Lib. also has a book "Cherokee County, Alabama Marriage Records, books A, B, C, D, E, 3, F, G, and H through 1930." The records extend back to at least 1883. It is available from the Cherokee County Library, P.O. Box 550, Centre, AL 35960 for $25.00 postpaid. Though I have never been there, I would suggest calling Gadsden library to see if they have any Floyd Co. or Cherokee Co. stuff, and ask if they have the bound "Settlers of Northeast Alabama", published by the Northeast Alabama Genealogical Society, Gadsden, which has Cherokee Co. stuff as well. And check with the Rome library for their resources. I have been to neither of these. Let me remind you that a southern sliver, paralled to the present county line, of present-day Cherokee County used to lie in northern Benton County before the 1850's. It is present day Calhoun County. Benton and Calhoun records shouldn't be overlooked. I wouldn't recommend going out of the way, but if you're in Huntsville, check out the library's Heritage Room--almost a whole floor devoted to genealogical resources of all states, including census indexes and microfilm for most states.
