I wanted to bring this to the attention to Stacy and Linda also. I think they should know about this too. One of our cc's received an email asking about the slave schedules and not finding them in the census transcriptions. There are some posted in the AL archives and I replied telling the researcher about them and suggested she do a search for them in the AL archives. Off hand I know the 1850 slave schedule is posted in Conecuh Co. I haven't checked yet to see if I have the AL ones listed on the census toc, but I haven't thought about adding them to the census toc if they are not already there. Is this where they should go? Below is the reply our sc , Leigh had and since she forwarded to Kaye M. I thought Stacy would also have some imput here. Thanks!
