Hi: Does anyone have a copy of the filmed version of the 1830 Dallas Co census? I would be glad to send funds to anyone who is willing to copy what I need from this. I am looking for a Devenport Graves, found on page 93 (I think it is that pg). I know I can order from Nat'l Archives, but they take two months. Don't live near a library that has any research material. Any help will be terribly appreciated. Leslie Hill LHill42731@aol.com

This is the federal agency which has *our* pension records, bounty land records, military records, passenger lists as well as other records of importance to a genealogist. NARA is proposing a rate increase. Not a small one to cover the cost of living but a VERY LARGE increase! The records most often sought, the pension records of our ancestors, will have a 400% increase in Sept. unless we make our voices heard. Several years ago, when NARA was threatened with a dramatic funding cut, they appealed to genealogist to write and express our opinions and dissatisfaction. We did and basically *saved* them. Now it is our turn to speak out on this issue too. First visit this site, it is the NARA site that tells you about the proposed fee increases. Some of you can hyperlink and others will need to copy and paste the page. Either way, read it carefully. Yes, it is your typical government document full of mumble jumble and you have to wade through all of that. But the new fees are listed. All increases are far more than a modest increase! Now is the time we can act together. We can write an email, send a fax or better yet, a snail mail letter to NARA. In addition, notify you congressman and any other official you know to express your dissatisfaction in this most unfair rate increase. The time is NOW. The cut off date for getting your opinions in is June 26, 2000. Although the increase is not scheduled until Sept., we must act now to get them to rethink this gigantic increase. Thank you for reading this. Please take the time to write a similar message to each of the mailing list you receive, and send to them as well as to each genealogist that you personally correspond with and encourage them to do the same. Together we can be a Million Genealogist On Line Against Fee Increases!! With elections not far away, I do not think congress wants to make a VERY Large group of constituents upset!! So go below and click or copy and see for yourselves what is proposed and then write your letter now, not tomorrow, not next week. NOW. <A HREF="http://www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html">Proposed Rule NARA Fee Schedule-36 CFR Part 1258</A> or http://www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html Thanks.

It has been a long time since we have received any information on the Durdens but am still trying. We really would like to find the parents of Francis Durden, born in North Carolina in 1770 and moved to Georgia before 1793. However, any information on the Durdens would be very helpful. We have received some help, but as you know, we never can get enough. Thanks, Dorothy Durden
Hi Lynda: Yes, I have the same dates you do, so we must be on the same wavelenght! I am trying to find proof of when Nancy McElroy Graves died in Dallas Co. I have seen the date, 1840, but to date, have found no documentation to prove this, just the notation of it by relatives. If you happen to have any probate/estate documents to show she really died then in Dallas Co. or even an obit, I would LOVE to see it. Be glad to share what I have with you.

Hi: Does anyone have an easy access to the 1840 Dallas Co. census to see if Davenport Graves is showing there, and if there still shows a wife in the household (or age that corresponds to a female that would be likely)? He would be about 54 yrs. of age, and the wife abt. 50. Thank you so much for any time you can give. Really appreciate it. Leslie S. Hill LHill42731@aol.com

Is anyone on the list is interested in hosting a weekly (or more frequent) Dallas County genealogy chat(s)? I will set up the chat platform and do all the tech stuff. All you have to do is set topics, come up with a schedule, make folks feel at home, and moderate the chat. Should be fairly knowledgeable about Dallas County genealogy and history. Can also do a co-host set up. Let me know or send suggestions. B.J. Smothers ALDALLAS-L Listowner Dallas County Alabama Genealogy http://www.prairiebluff.com/algenweb/dallas/
I am looking for the parents of Viola Blanche Hall King 8-24-1878 Dallas and Vinnie Hall Demotte 1868 Dallas. Viola married 8 Jul 1894 Dallas and Vinnie 20 Dec 1887 Dallas. They have other siblings and half siblings. I suspect their father to be J. N. Hall, if this is so he married 2nd time Mary V. Joiner on 16 aug 1887, he was age 42 and Mary 27. I do not know the name of his first wife other than it was also Mary. I tried to locate him on the 1870 and 1880 census. The listing of Halls in Bham Lib was so long could not complete. Hoped you would have access to Dallas Co Census only (not state wide) If you can assist me I would appreciate, Edna Bunn Cook
