It was closed. So you might want to make sure to check the schedules to see if anything is open before you make plans to go there. In my case, I substituted going to the courthouse with going to a cemetery - made a video of the cemetery so it all worked out anyway. Barry Jernigan

Hi Melissa, What a wonderful topic . My husband Tom is from Jamaica Queens New York, not open records/very closed and I have thrown the towel in many times! We have searched since our first child was born in 1977 with very little positive experience. I wish Texas was a bit closer so I could go to the meeting! If anyone tapes it or takes notes or has a syllabus or if she has written a book ---I would love to know more....Claudia Kraemer -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Melissa Hogan Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:39 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [ALJEFFER] Birmingham Genealogical Society Meeting Sat, Sept 23rd,Pitfalls of Adoption Research The Birmingham Genealogical Society meets the fourth Saturday of each month (ex.

The directories date from 1883-present.
