Greetings: I am so glad for the debut of ALDALLAS mailing list! This is great. I am currently seeking information om three sets of families: DILLARD/DILLION, RAND, & WILLIAMS. ______________________________________________________________________ Vinnie WILLIAMS (maiden name either DILLARD or DILLION). She was born in Safford, Dallas County, AL in 1893 to the parents of Sampson DILLARD/DILLION and Ceallie DILLARD/DILLION (maiden name unknown). Vinnie eventually married Allen WILLIAMS (he was name after his father Allen WILLIAMS). *Vinnie was my paternal great grandmother. ______________________________________________________________________ Archie/Arch RAND was my paternal great grandfather. He too was born in Safford, Dallas County, AL but in 1870 to the parents of Willis RAND and Fannie RAND (maiden name unknown). Archie/Arch eventually married Bessie WILLIAMS. Bessie was the daughter of Allen WILLIAMS and Vinnie WILLIAMS (DILLARD/DILLION). [see above] ______________________________________________________________________ The above persons were buried in said city and county. Thank you in advance for your help. Karim Aldridge-Rand
