Hello, I have tried everything I can think of and others have thought of. Now I am going from county to county to try to locate my father and family. Father William Austin Born in Indiana 1927 or 1928. I can get no info from Vital Records because I do not have Birth date Parents names or anything else. This was all that was on my Birth Certificate. Here is all the info I have. My name is Rev. Dennis Keith Austin I am 44 years old my fathers name is William Austin he would be around his early 70's he has a daughter name Twila she would be around 51 to 53 and a son around my age. He had Curly Auburn hair he lived in and around Monterey Park, California. He worked at a gas station. This info is 44 years old. My mothers name is Barbara Ballenger. He was not married at the time he and my mother had a relationship and when she got pregnant he left. I have no other family brothers and sisters except on the Austin side. My mother saw him again a year after I was born and he was married and had a little baby with him. If you could be of some help it would be a Blessing. Please contact me one way or the other. Thank you and have a Blessed weekend. In His Grace, Rev. Dennis Austin 7577 Margate Court #104 Manassas, Virginia 20109 1-800-650-3238 Toll Free cevm@erols.com

Hi, The name of Hugh McVay, is identified with the early history of Alabama. He was one of the citizens choosen to write the first Constitution of Ala. He was 31 yrs. old. He moved from South Carolina to the Cty. of Madison. When the Territorial Mississippi was divided Madison became part of Ala. and McVay was elected to Ala. Legislature. He was elected President of the Senate in 1836. When Clement C. Clay, Governor of Alabama, was elected to the United States Senate (June 1837), Hugh McVay became , under the law, Acting Governor of the State, and held that office for six months until Governor Bagby was inaugurated. There is a painting of Hugh McVay hanging in the State Capital in Montgomery with the date of his Governorship written thereon. Hope this infomation is helpful and thank you for your interest.

Hello List I am still in hope that someone may have information on the town of Henryellen, AL. for the years 1886-1889 (this is my stonewall). Any info from any source would be appreciated, cemetery, birth, marriage, city directory, census, newspaper, obituary, civil or criminal records, citizenship, or anything from that area (outskirts of Birmingham). The surname that I am interested in is RULOFF or any same sounding name (found as RULOPH/ RULHOFF/RUDOLPH/ROLOFF on a few records.

Still searching for infomation on subject names. The Durdens migrated from England to N. C. or Va. and settled in Alabama. The Kyles migrated from Scotland and settled in Ala. The Vasvarys(Vasvari) migrated from Hungary and Germany and settled in New Jersey. Any infomation you may have will be very helpful.
