Is there a list of the people in the Jefferson Memorial garden EAST, on the internet? psueg
I'm going to try this one again. I'm sure the list gets new subscribers who might not have seen it. This is my most recent brick wall. I can trace all of my other family lines past this generation. I would love to make a connection on my Cantrel line. All I have is that my GGGM, Martha A. Cantrel, married James Glass in Jefferson County, AL in 1875. According to the 1880 Census of Jefferson County, she was born in AL about 1861, but her parents were born in GA. In 1880, her brother was living with her and James, but he was born in GA, about 1859/60. (That would mean that the family moved to AL about 1861.) I think the problem is that the surname is spelled Cantrel, Cantrell, Cantwell, and even Canter. Any help would be appreciated. Jim Nix Birmingham, AL

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------F5124B9E835C5D62E9894765 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I got my response today and unfortunately they found no record of my grandfather's birth. Oh well, it was worth a shot. I at least have his baptismal record from St Paul's but I was hoping for an official civil document. I hope everyone else has better luck with this contact. Birmingham had quite a thriving Italian community at the turn of the century. I'm trying to find a copy of the book "Italians in the deep South : their impact on Birmingham and the American heritage" by Frank Joseph Fede. The NOPL doesn't have it so I may try inerlibrary loan. Though I know there are no more Caravellas in Birmingham, I'm sure I must still have some cousins in the area. Research is very difficult from New Orleans so I may just have to wait till I can get out there. My family, as well as many others that settled in Birmingham, were from Ustica, an island just north of Palermo. If you're interested, please visit my site at www.ustica.org/genealogy.

I was passed around a lot but I beleive the number is (205)933-9110. The clerk took my address and mailed me a form to fill out. The address is Jefferson County Department of Health Bureau of Health Statistics and Vital records 1400 Sixth Avenue South PO Box 2648 Birmingham, AL 35202-2648 The cost is $12 per search/certificate and $4 for additional copies - money order or cashiers check only. Also only the next of kin can request a certificate. That means my dad actually had to sign for my grandfather's birth certificate or he could have written a letter giving me authority. I'm not sure how flexible this rule is but in my case I didn't need to worry about it. I hope that by writing directly to the county they will search pre-1908 records. There was no mention on the form of a search limit. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Folks, I have also found Death Certificates on microfilm at the LDS Family Life Center here in Birmingham. (It's on Altadena Road.) However, for some reason, they didn't have all the Jefferson County Death Certificates at this facility. The microfilm for the others can be ordered from Salt Lake City, though. (In other words, the local FLC can get the microfilm, as from another library.) Jim Nix "William C.

Hello Chris...and all! Several years ago when I went to the location I had them do a search for my great grandmother. They searched from the earliest records, about 1882 all the way to 1925...even though I told them she died in 1898 according to a bible record...so they will search from the early years. I didn't get lucky with that great grandmother, but they did find another relative, a gg grandmother who also died in 1898, but didn't find her husband who died 6 years later! Records were kept very haphazardly in those days. Bill William C.
