---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 11:51:51 -0600 From: sbuller <sbuller@kumc.edu> To: dmorgan@efn.org Subject: Genealogical Society in Calhoun County, AL I sent a request to the NE Alabama Gen. Soc. but it was returned to me. Do you have a current address for them. The address I used was in The Source published in 1994 or so. It would be helpful to have a list of Genealogical Societies published for different counties. If there is one, I missed it. Thank you for your help. Sharon Buller sbuller@kumc.edu

Hi ALl! As I reported earlier, Jeff Thomspon had sent me a link to the Confederate Soldiers cemetery web site and when I visited the site I just assumed it was Jeff's. Jeff has written to tell me as much as he would like to credit for the site, it is not his. The web site belongs to Hobgood. My apologies to Hobgood and thank you Jeff for straightening out my oversight! Lygia Dawkins Cutts Cuttstree@Net1inc.net 881 Weaver Road Brewton, AL 36426

The Story of the Brushey Creek Community is now on line.... at least part one of it. This was written by Mrs. Lillian Shell Morgan about 1958. I hope to have part two online within the week; however, I need some help. I need a photograph of the the old school, the old church building, the new church building, any businesses that were once in the community. I have a section for school teachers, but need more photos. I would like to add some photos of some of the pastors and perhaps any families that lived in the community. If you have any photos connected with Brushey Creek Community, please share them. You will be given credit for providing them. Please indentify persons and/or buildings pictured. If you know the approx year the photo was taken, please include that also. The surname list has also been updated again. Thanks to every one.
