I am looking for the obituary of my grand-uncle Albert Entrekin who lived in Birmingham. The SSDI has his death in January 1969. I'm afraid that I don't know much else about him. If SKS has the time to look in the newspaper for his obituary and send me a copy I'd be grateful. Please contact me. JimSchmitz jim@mcparlane.com

My grandfather was Oscar Thomas or Thomas Oscar Westbrook born in Forney Alabama according to his social security application in 1893. He has one full sister named Lorena dob 1896 who married into the Molock family somewhere around Rome Georgia. On the 1900 census records Papa was enumerated with his maternal grandparents, Andrew and Nancy Hite on the Rock Run, Cherokee County records. According to what I was told by my grandmother in 1972 (I have carried these scrap pieces of paper around for year and years), Papa's mother Becky Hite-Westbrook died and he was raised by his grandparents. On the 1880 census records there is a Francis R. Hite who's age falls into the right time frame to be Becky of the R is for Rebecca. His father was Gene Westbrook, son of Wash and Minnie Reeves or Reeds Westbrook. After Becky died Gene moved possibly to Jefferson County. My father saw him as a young boy so it would be between 1920 and 1935. Becky is buried some where up in the Piedmont area. This is my wall. I have not paper trail on Gene at all. Really none on Becky except for her parents. What is left of my family either knows nothing, aren't saying or in no condition mentally to help me. I am planning a trip to the Birmingham/Piedmont area in May. This line can not just appeared from the sky's, haha. The reason I am posting it to the Georgia sites also is according to my mom Papa moved back and forth across the border to the Rome area so much she isn't sure where I should be searching. If you can help me I would appreciate it. Would like a blue print for this hunt before I fly in. Merry Ann

Looking for ANYTHING on any and all of the following: Millard EDNEY. Millard was my G,G,grandfather.(b. abt. 1855-60?) He married Martha Virginia (Jennie) LAVENDER.(b. abt. 1858-1863?) The children that I am aware of them having are: (May not be in birth order.) Mary Keiffer/Keifer EDNEY, (my great grandmother); born in Columbus MS.,possibly around 1880-1883, John EDNEY; Carniffe Ruff EDNEY, (1891-1939); Claude EDNEY, (1894-1953); Mary K. EDNEY married Hezakiah Clark GORE.(b.1879 d.1916), in Irondale,AL. M.K.EDNEY and H.C.GORE were in the Birmingham, Jefferson Co., AL. and surrounding areas. They had several children... Carey Carniff GORE (1904-1993)(married Rose?), Burnham Alvin GORE (who was called 'Petty')(1905-1977), Millard GORE (1902-1903 lived 11 months), Leslie GORE (called'Leck')(1907-1972) (married Myrt,who I believe is still alive, and living with one of their sons, Richard(Dick) GORE, in SC.), Clyde Evers GORE (1899-1934), Martha Agnes GORE (1911-1912 lived 15 months), Emory GORE, Willie Mae GORE (Dec. 27, 1900 in Smythe, Jefferson Co., AL. and d.1993) married Fred Feilbelman HEYMAN, (b. Aug. 30, 1898, in Gainesville, TX.) He was the son of 'Max'millian HEYMAN, and Belle HART, then after Fred's death she married Walter Lynch FURMAN, who was a phamacist. Willie was my grandmother. Max and Belle are buried in Elmwood Cem. in Birmingham, AL Willie and Fred F. HEYMAN had one child ,MaeBelle HEYMAN,(b. May 28, 1921), who married Billy Samuel ROBINSON. The GOREs I listed were born in Smythe, Irondale, Powdery, Trusville, Birmingham, and looks like a Germenie(?) AL. * I know some of these aren't spelled right. Most of these people lived and worked in Birmingham, Jefferson Co. AL. all of their lives. Willie worked and retired from a hospital that I think was on the east side of town. (We could see the Vulcan light, (green or red, depending on a death that day I think), from her apartment, and she walked to work.) There was a park a couple of blocks from there. Several of her brothers worked for the Birmingham Newspaper Office. One of them was an artist? Most of them are buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham. Does anyone recognize any of these names? PLEASE e mail me with any info, guesses or suggestions. I will take ANYTHING! Kay R. Music lmusic1@bellsouth.net (lower case 'L', music, # one)
