Does any one have a list of the people buried in the "Big Creek Cemetery"''? It is located at the Big Creek Baptist Church in Adger, Alabama, in Jefferson CO. I have been told that some one made a list and can not find out who. This Church has a lot of Humbers in it, and that every one there is kin some how. psueg@bellsouth.net

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I'm looking for info on the family of my ggrandmother, Gurtie Vaughn. She was born somewhere around 1890, married Marshall Faucett of Blount County and had 3 sons, Hobert (my grandfather) who married Lillian Bessie Cranford, Willard (died early, probably in his teens), and Lloyd who married Marguerite Dawes or Doss. Lloyd and Marguerite had at least 2 sons, Harold and Marion. Gurtie died around 1924. I don't know where but I suspect Jefferson or Blount County. Anyone having a clue to who her parents might have been or any other info about her, PLEASE, contact me. I would be very grateful. Thank You, Tina

I am new to the list. I grew up in Birmingham and have lived in Florida since 1965. Am researching the Hart family from VA & WV The Porch or Poarch families from VA, NC, TN. Some of these families moved to AL and some to TX and OK. I graduated from Phillips High in 1950. Love to see you at the reunion in Aug 2000. Virginia Hart Poarch virginia@isgroup.net

Hi, can anyone tell me where to look for Catholic marriage records for 1898? We have checked at St. Paul downtown, and they don't have it. The marriage we are searching for took place in the NW part of the county, and I'm hoping there are other old records available. The license is at the courthouse but the marriage was never recorded. Help! Any suggestions most welcome. Martha mulkin@midwest.net

Martha, I found it on the catalog on the computer at the LDS library at their church here.

The LDS also have hundreds of rolls that have the actual >certificates on them. One must first find the name in the index and then >use the Vol and cert # to locate the proper roll to order for the >certificate. Melba wrote the above in reference to Ala. death certificates. How can you find a catalog of LDS microfilm? I've been round and round on their website, no luck on finding Alabama death records. Martha mulkin@midwest.net

Mark, The index is on microfilm. A lot of libraries in AL have a 6 roll set that covers 1908-1959. The rolls are divided into several time periods, example: the first on covers several time segments starting with 1908-1917, then 1918-1919, etc. The LDS has a larger set that covers later years as well. One can order these through local LDS church libraries or at Wallace State College at Hanceville, AL for about $3-4. The LDS also have hundreds of rolls that have the actual certificates on them. One must first find the name in the index and then use the Vol and cert # to locate the proper roll to order for the certificate. The other way is to order the certificate from the AL Dept of Vital Stistics in Montgomery(either by mail or at a county health department). The fee is $12, which is not returned if the certificate is not found. It is a good idea to first locate the name on the index in order to be assured that there is a certificate available. Locating the name on the index gives the Vol and # and the "version" of the name to ensure that it will be found. Hope this helps.

Dear Sir I was trying to find information on one of my ancestors in South Carolina and soon after I began doing research in this area, I began receiving E-Mail from you. I don't remember requesting information from you, but I am new to the net, and I may have inadvertantly done so. If so I apologize fot any inconvenience this may have caused you, and I thank you for your diligence in forwarding information my way. However I am not African-American and I'm reasonably sure that no one in my family ever owned slaves. At least there has never been rumor of any. So you can stop sending me E-Mail. Thank-You Charlotte Bernard

These marriage index books are those at the Jefferson Co. Courthouse in Birmingham, AL. As far as I know there are no copies, not even on microfilm.

Yes, there are African American Marriage Books in Jefferson Co. AL. There are indexes (one for grooms and one for brides). I think the dates for these indexes are probably the same as for the other ones, 1908-1940, but I'm not sure.

Is there any African American Marriage Books or Records in Jefferson?
