Hello all, There are now 9 subscribed to the list,too few to be effective but have patience and tell your friends. My modem has slowed down to a crawl, can't get better that 4800 bps.My old 486 w/ a US Robotics 56k is preforming well but if I use it my mail gets filed on that system which is worse than dealing with the slow speed. Anyway I'm going to be posting complete transcripts of some things from the Autauga courthouse starting with the estate of Malinda Posey,which I find has info on a lot of families,not just Posey's. I've just started it and I've yet to see a lot of the things that are purported to be proven by it which is why I picked it to post. Even if you aren't interested in the Posey line it should be of interest to see the paper trail an estate can generate from start to finish. I've found some of the best clue's are in obscure parts of the estate papers which are often missed in the published books of abstracts. I'm also going to start on the 1880 census for Chilton County. I've been waiting to hear from UsGenWeb to start on that but I'll do it on my own if they don't reply soon. -- Dwight David Dennis,1014 Ski Lodge 3,Birmingham,Al.35209 dddennis@concentric.net,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm Chilton County UsGenWeb page,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/chilton.htm
