Dear Dallas County researchers: I am going to Dallas County to do some of my own research. I have posted information on this list before, but I have been out of town a lot recently and am not sure who still needs help. I will take pictures at the Live Oak Cemetery for $1.00 per picture and will do other research, i.e. city directories, etc. If you just want a general idea of what is available there, I will try to find out for you - no charge. If you want me to spend some time, I can do that also. I only charge $10 per hour and will be bringing a helper with me. With two of us working on it, we should be able to do quite a bit of work for several people. Let me know as soon as possible. I know I have written several of you at your private e-mail address. I'm making plans now for my trip and what I need to look for. marydavis@prodigy.net ----Original Message----- From: Woody/Suzanne Coats <coats@localink4.com> To: ALDALLAS-L@rootsweb.com <ALDALLAS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, November 18, 1999 2:11 PM Subject: [ALDALLAS-L] Russell McCord >Dear Belva, > >According to the cemetery listing of Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Al >(Dallas Co.), >there is a listing for: > >McCORD, Russell, M.D.---June 5,1833 to January 8, 1885 >McCORD, Ann Eliza---April 4, 1834 to June 26, 1930 >(this person was buried right beside him, so it would be pretty safe to >assume she was his wife.) > >These are the only McCords listed for that cemetery. > >In the book,"Selma: Her Institutions and Her Men", there is a wirte-up >about HUGH FERGUSON and it mentions that the"..eldest of his daughters >was married on the 19th of October, 1858, to Dr. Russell McCord of >Columbia, SC". >There is more on Hugh Ferguson and who is wife was, etc if these people >from Brazil want the information.
