I have been reading the recent correspondence about the research room currently being staffed by members of the Coosa Co., AL., historical society. I think that the research room is a great place for those of us who live outside of the area to be able to visit and review the family data and records maintained there. My question is as follows: I have for many years research in detail ten (10) or more different family lines that settled and lived in the Coosa Co., AL., area from ca 1832 to the 1860 timeframe. Would the historical society be interested in receiving family histories from people such as I that could provide information for use in the research room? Is there someone I could contact to see if the society is interested? Many people involved in family history research have provided me with family details that has saved me many hours of work, and I would like to share my info. It is just a matter of many copies of my word processor files, and fwd to the society for the family files in the research room, if someone is interested in the data. i.e. I have a Kelly family history for the Jacob Kelly line which appears in the 1850 census. I wasted five or six years of work on Irish Kellys only to find out that my Kelly line of Coosa was actually German Koelle/Khelles who changed their name to Kelly and migrated to Coosa Co. ca 1848. I have data with wills, land deeds, etc and have documented this line. This line continued to live in the Coosa/Elmore area, and descendants are still in the county. If someone has a contact, please let me know. Thanks Ann Corum Researching: Kelly Gaylor Dunlap Varner Suttle Gantt Wingard Cranford Hill Lybrand Wilson
