To Richard W. Seymour, The Winfield Library of Marion county has a CD rom disk reader. They also have a new version of Family Tree for Windows, FTW 6.0. I put much of my genealogy into FTW. FTW includes several CD disks of soldiers of various times, Early marriages in U.S. etc. Plenty to keep a computer aquainted genealogist busy for a day. The Fayette County Library (home of Mr Newell) also has a CD reade on the computer upstairs in the Library. They have 6 of Broderbund world family tree CDs which I gave them. They also have FTW. I am sure either library would appreciate a CD rom containing Herb & Jeanie Newell's cemetery books and The Stalcups Cem. book of Marion County. Much of my genealogy is on FTW at Fayette also. Anybody with genealogy on computer would be welcome to install it at Winfield or Fayette either I am sure. Or send to me and I will install it. From old 83 year old Fred McCaleb.

Southeastern Genealogical Research (www.akat.com/genealogy.html) Is a new research service specializing in Southeastern Staes research. I can lookup individual surname records. For lookups I charge $5 per lookup but that includes photo copies and postage to you. Please let me know if I can be of service. The Collection of material I have access to includes over 100,000 printed volumes, 9,000 volumes of bound periodicals, 15,000 reels of microfilm exclusive of newspaper and periodical holdings, more than 6,000 of microforms, 8,000 pamphlets, 300 linear feet of vertical file and clipping material, a sizable collection of rare books, and a growing body of records in compact disc (CD) format.

Collection is acknowledged by genealogical researchers as one of the finest in the Southeastern United States. For more information email SGR1999@bellsouth.net

All, An interesting story about civil war feelings is told from my mother's side of the family, MCDANIEL's. Cullen McDaniel, of Fayette county (Father was Albrittain McDaniel) did not believe in the Civil War, and moved to Arkansas to escape the battle. I believe that he joined the Arkansas Peace Movement, but regardless, he was tracked down by Rebel "bushwhackers". He, and two of his sons were burned alive in his house. The bushwhackers raped one of the daughters, the other escaped. Cullen's wife was never found, and was believed killed also by the bushwhachers. All of Cullen's brothers served in the war, some as young as 14. His children never returned to Alabama, and were raised by friends in YELL county, alabama. You can read about this in more detail on my page at http://catlin.clas.virginia.edu/mikell under the McDaniel genealogy and the mirror site at http://www.people.virginia.edu/ehm4m It is interesting to do a search on the Arkansas Peace Movement as well. Some of the orginal death orders still exist, and are kept in the archives..... Eddie Mikell

Sabra, I bought my copy of the Newell book almost 6 years ago. I think you are right about them not being available. Since you donated your copy of the martion Co. books to your library, would you like a copy of the file. If the library has a computer with a CD, I can put the file on a CD for them Seymour

I, too would prefer to have the Access database of the books. Can we buy the database or must we buy the books to get the database? Thanks... Dale

Can any one make connections with the following names? On my Fathers side.(Fayette and West AL areas) Welch,Bynum,Sanford,Roberts,Faulkner,Cornelson and Reese. On my Mothers side.(Hale and Perry Co.,AL) Hartley,Spencer, Nichols and Parker.

I would be glad to purchase the book, but I would really like the Access 97 database. How would I go about getting it? Alice Campbell

Thought this might be in interesting poem for those working hard and have worked to record a cemetery. Should encourage others to update a cemetery. The two families that have worked the hardest at this are the Newells and Stalcups of Fayette & Marion counties, Al. THE RECORDING OF A CEMETERY by Thelma Greene Reagan Today we walked where others walked On a Lonely, windswept hill; Today we talked where other cried For Loved Ones whose lives are stilled. Today our hearts were touched By graves of tiny babies; Snatched from the arms of loving kin, In the heartbreak of the ages. Today we saw where the grandparents lay In the last sleep of their time; Lying under the trees and clouds- Their beds kissed by the sun and wind. Today we wondered about an unmarked spot; Who lies beneath this hollowed ground? Was it a babe, child, young or old? No indication could be found. Today we saw where Mom and Dad lay. We had been here once before On a day we'd all like to forget, But will remember forever more. Today we recorded for kith and kin The graves of ancesters past; To be preserved for generations hence, A record we hope will last. Cherish it, my friend: preserve it, my friend, For stones sometimes crumble to dust And generations of folks yet to come Will be grateful for your trust.

Well, I didn't expect so large a response on the cemetery files. Here's the story: In the late 50's early 60's the Newell and Stalcup families did a census of the cemeteries in Marion & Fayette Counties. They published their books, which are still available through the Marion County Genealogy Society., PO Box 360, Winfield AL 35594. Both authors were gracious enough to allow me to transcribe their respective books onto a computer database with the understanding I wouldn't receive any monies from it. I offered to give the database file to anyone who wanted it WITH the condition that they first purchase the actual books. Several reasons: 1: The books are copyrighted material. 2. They did the hard work of locating and inventorying the cemeteries, some of which are no longer available or are in too poor a condition to read. 3. I won't guarantee the accuracy of the file. It took me two years of part time work, early in the morning or late at night. I've included the book, page and line number of each entry. So, thinking it's the only fair way to have the information, and to insure the data is s correct as possible, I feel it's the right thing to do to pay the Newells or the Stalcups for their efforts. Of course, I will do a reasonable number of free lookup for anyone who can use the information. The file is done with Microsoft Access 97, but can be transferred to either a spreadsheet (Lotus 123) or some wordprocessor files. Keep in mind the entire file is some 35,000 records long.
