Does anyone have a list of those buried in the W. A. Smith Cemetery located in or near the Hebron Community. I am interested in any Waldrums who are buried there. I also would like directions to get there from Jackson. Thanks for any help.

Is the name of the cemetery on Choctaw Corner Road Beheind New Hope #1 Baptist Church correct name Choctaw Corner Cemetery or New Hope #1 Cemetery? Is the cemetery older than the church? There are multiple cemeteries on Choctaw Corner Road. Which is the oldest? Was one used until others were created? There are 3 cemeteries on Bashi Road, just past the Choctaw Corner intersection, across from Mile Chapel Church. I believe one is the old Miles Chapel Cemetery, another is the new Miles Chapel Cemetery. What is the third cemetery? What is the relationship between them? What is the significance of the fences between them? Is the cemetery on Hwy 5 in Thomasville as old? Thanks ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Subject: Fw: Signing the on line petition These plaques were bought and paid for by money set aside for Confederate widows and were taken in the night by unknown parties recently. They need to be restored to their rightful place as there is nothing on the plaques that is offensive to any Texan or Southerner. Check it out. Virgil Holden http://www.petitiononline.com/ Subject: Signing the on line petition Dear Friends: Please go to "petition on line" and sign the petition to restore the historic Confederate plaques to the Texas Supreme Court Building. Please have your friends sign also. Thank You very much. GOD SAVE THE SOUTH!

- Legacy 3.0 Is Now Free The Millennia Corporation made an announcement this week that should interest a lot of genealogists: their excellent Windows genealogy program, Legacy 3.0, is now available free of charge. Legacy is one of the better genealogy products available and has had a retail price of $49.95 (U.S. funds). In the May 10, 2000 edition of this newsletter, I wrote, "Legacy has always been one of my favorite genealogy programs since the first day that I saw it in operation. The new version didn't let me down; it improves on an already top-notch program. If you are thinking about moving up to a more powerful genealogy program, I would suggest that you consider Legacy 3.0." Now it will be very easy to "consider" Legacy 3.0 since you can download it online at no charge. You also can obtain it on CD-ROM disk, although Millennia Corporation will charge a few dollars for the disk and postage. Millennia first released Legacy over two and a half years ago. Since that time it has grown to be one of the more popular genealogy programs in the market today, even with a retail price of about fifty dollars. "Today's announcement marks a big change in the distribution of the product," said David Berdan, president of Millennia. "We expect a huge increase in our user base in the near future. We also have plans for many new products and features." It's surprising to see a program this powerful available for free. How will Millennia make money? By offering a new, enhanced version for $19.95. The company apparently expects that you will try the free program and will love it. They probably expect a lot of people will then pay the extra money to add even more functionality. I believe the Gillette Corporation used to do something similar with razors: they gave the relatively expensive razors away free and then made millions of dollars selling razor blades to fit the razors. It might be easy to think that the free version of Legacy is a "dummied down" edition. Not true. It is the same as the full commercial version of Legacy 3.0 that Millennia Corporation was selling for $49.95 until this week. The new $19.95 version appears to be what I would call "version 4.0" although the Millennia Corporation prefers to call it the "Deluxe Edition." The free version of Legacy 3.0 includes the following: * Easy data entry * Unlimited file size * To Do List and Correspondence Log * Web Page Creation * IntelliMerge, one of the nicest implementations I have seen for merging two databases together * A powerful Report and Book generator * An excellent method for recording source citations * Multiple family files in split screens * GEDCOM import and export * Spell Checking * Search and Replace * Much, much more The Deluxe Edition, available for $19.95, adds the following: * It can produce PDF files from previewed reports. These can be sent by email and read in the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe. * Compare Two Files for Duplicates allows you to see if there are individuals or lines in another file that you might want to import. * The new Advanced Sourcing features lets you assign sources to a group of individuals or marriages at one time. You can select the fields to be sourced. * Many reports can now include a Location Index showing on what pages each location is used. * A new Relationship Calculator lets you see every way any two people are related. You can also print nice Relationship Charts with colored boxes and text. * When doing Merges you can specify any pair of individuals as being "Not Duplicates." Oftentimes you may have felt like you were wearing out the Skip To Next button as you came upon pairs of individuals you knew were not duplicates but had similar names and information. Now you can mark these pairs as Not Duplicates so they don't continually show up in subsequent merge sessions. * There is a new Last Report button on the main screen that lets you quickly go to the last report screen you used. * You can now Renumber RINs and MRINs (Record and Marriage Record Individual Numbers). You can renumber specific individuals or marriages as well as groups of records. * You can now Reuse Deleted RINs and MRINs when adding new records and importing. * You can select the color of boxes on Ancestor, Descendant and Pedigree Charts. Both the free version and the Deluxe version of Legacy 3.0 require the following: a Pentium class computer with a minimum of 16 megabytes of memory (32 megabytes or more recommended), 35 megabytes of available hard disk space, Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me or NT. If you are unhappy with your present genealogy software, or if you would like to trade up to a free program that probably is more powerful than what you are using today, I would suggest you take Legacy 3.0 for a test drive. You may like it better than what you have been using, even if you paid a lot of money for your current software.

Poorhouses chronicled on Web "Site is clearinghouse for information about the forgotten needy. by Paul J. Ellion, AP Hillsdale - She began by looking for information on her grandmother "Emma" and discovered a family history that at first surprised her, then later inspired her on to a new mission. Linda Cannell, known as the "Poorhouse Lady," began her Web site, www.poorhousestory.com to chronicle the history of America's poorhouses and the destitute people that history forgot. Her site is a clearinghouse for information on the numerous poorhouses that dotted the American landscape in the 19th century. The story of the Will Carleton Poorhouse in Hillsdale county is told on her site. There is also a 1850 Census listing for the poorhouse in Fayette Township, with Lorenzo and Susan Dowd listed as the <keepers of the poorhouse.>" This is taken from a newspaper article given me. To see the entire article, search on the title. It is a recent article, but I do not know its date. It is too long to re-type. I do not know the newspaper. I do not have web access. However, I thought this information and web site was worth passing on to others. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Dear Researchers: My computer got a virus and I had to delete some infected files and completely re-install Windows 98. In the process, I might have lost some information. If you sent me a link to your Alabama genealogy personal page or any other Alabama URL's, would you check to see if they are on my website and if not, please re-send them to me? Thanks! http://huntsville.about.com/cs/genealogy1/index.htm Jean Brandau huntsville2@about.com

My 2nd g-grandfather JA Sharp was living in Clarke county Al in the 1870 census. I have heard family stories he was in the Confederacy during the Civil War. I have found nowhere he was enlisted though. I feel he was enlisted from Clarke or Mobile county. I can tell from the dates his children were born that he was away from home the years of the war. If anyone in the Clarke county area has Civil War rosters with his name on it , I would appreciate your help very much. I have had a hard time trying to find any rosters out of Mobile. In 1877 in the late summer , he and his family with 12 more families started an ox-drawn wagon train to Tx. The Sharps arrived in Angelina county Tx the last of Nov 1877. According to family stories the train formed at a old church in Coffeeville . Would anyone know of such an old church there at that time. I believe most of the families including mine had resided at Grove Hill. Thank you very much Richard Sharp

I'd like any information on George W. Cox, who was a 2nd Lieutenant when the company was formed in April of 1862. He ended up being a Captain in 1864, when he was wounded at New Hope Church. I think he is the George Washington Cox (b. 8/13/1835 in Clarke Co. d. 11/12/1879 in Clarke Co.) that was the grandson of John Cox(1764-1842) who came to Clarke Co. around 1811. I would like solid proof that these two people are one in the same. Here is what I have that makes me think that they are the same. When the company was formed the following people where part of the 32nd Infantry Regiment of Alabama Volunteers Company "D". A. J. YORK, 3rd Lieut Micajah HARRIS, 3rd Sergt COX, Arris YORK, B. W. From the information I have in my family tree, all of these people are in some way related to George W. Cox, the grandson of John Cox. Alexander J. YORK is a cousin of G.W. COX Micajah HARRIS is an uncle Aras (Arris) COX, the son of James COX, is a cousin Bohan W. YORK is a cousin Maybe this is a coincidence, I would like to sort this out and find out if these two G.W. Cox's are the same. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it a lot. Shawn Cox _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
