I started looking for my family back in 2000 and I did not always have my information correct, but thru meeting on line with other family members and the fact that Ancestry.com has so much more information now, I think that most of my information on the Robinsons of Chilton County and surrounding counties is much more correct. My email address is bobordar@att.net if you did not get my previous email. I also did one of the DNA tests which showed me more information on family members.
