Fred. I will research John Brooks we are still defining the Brook's family in Cullman, Blount, and DeKalb Co., Al. As you know these county line were moveable and we must check many and this includes North West Georgia, South Tenn and it does take time. I think they migrated from VA along the Wagon Trail that ran along the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains and of course they lost children to marriage or the like of the country and they began to raise families in that area. I have you edress and will let you know what we learn Sue sshorn@alltel.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <alcullma-request@rootsweb.com> To: <alcullma@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 2:01 AM Subject: ALCULLMA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 20 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
