The Strand was close to the Galax on 2nd Avenue. My streetcar went right by it. I was seldom in it.

It was "Bwana Devil" made in 1952. 1952 - 1954 was the time period of Hollywood's largest experiment with 3-D movies. Most people didn't like wearing those funky red and blue glasses and that pertty muh killed it.

Does anyone else remember Tom's Coneys? I can remember working an after school and Saturday job at Birmingham Book and Magazine in the 60's. On Saturdays, I'd walk up to Tom's Coneys for a sack full of hot dogs. I remember that my dad had always talked about going to Tom's when he'd come to Birmingham back in the 40's. Tom's had a meat sauce for their hot dogs as I remember. Also, there was no place to sit down to eat. You either ate standing up or took them with you.

We are all "E' Erwins as far back as the 1600s in Ireland. However, in high level DNA - 67 marker level - distant (24 generations down to 7 or so) includes Erwins, Irwins, Irvings, Ervins, etc. The family memory in County Down, Northern Ireland, is that we were originally German. The North Carolina, Burke County, Erwins have the same memory, and they have been here since 1740. The DNA returns, however, include these other spellings. At the same time, these two families have in their genetic background two (one more I cannot remember)Norway and the Rhineland. There were Erwins thereabout, because a major architect of the Strasbourg Cathedral was an Erwin in, say, the 1300s. Rhineland. Our DNA is clearly linked to the Borders family groups, various spellings - border areas of Scotland & England now posted by Clan Irwin. In the British State Papers from the Tudor & Stuart reigns I did not find Erwins, men & women, moving to and from Ireland. But they did move to and from the Continent. Here, two Erwin families have a very long maintained memory, having forgotten a lot else, that we were originally German. At some point. The Erwins I found in Ireland prior to 1649 were officers in the English army.

The Ingram Family Book II, or whatever, is upstairs.

There are Hallmarls galore aoo over that book. Some have to be my kin. Are we "Near cousins" ( not blood kin but having mutual blood kin, or perhaps we are blood kin out there.

According to Deb Young and Jerry Jernigan's notes anyway. She was a daughter of William Nicholas Prosch and Margaret Ann Jernigan. Margaret Ann was a sister of my great-grandfather, Frank Jernigan. Oh, and let me know if you need a lookup on any Allred kin in my Cullman County books. I forgot to mention I also have the Cullman Co Tax Assessment List of 1889 -- just a listing of names but with the absence of the 1890 census -- not a bad substitute. Gives the districts and the names of heads of household under each district in the county. Barry Jernigan

I would appreciate that very much. Eudoxia's father was Wilburn W. Hallmark and wife Amanda Melvina Easley. Wilborn is oldest son of Mynatt and Polly Calvert and Mynatt is the twin of Jessie Hallmark and one of the many children of George Hallmark and Leannah Mynatt. Amanda Melvina is the daughter of Daniel Easley and Phebe Riggs. Daniel is the son of Benjamin Easley and Mary Murphree ( she is daughter of Solomon Murphree and Sarah Ward). On my other side is the same location is my McDonald Family William McDonald and wife Frances Lewelling. We thought we were related to the Amersons as Benjamin Amerson was listed as father of Amos Young Amerson and Elizabeth McDonald His Mother but DNA has proven him to be a Walker. Not unreal as two of his mother Elizabeth McDonald's sisters married Walkers. The Walker line has Indian Blood. Some of them were caught up in the Indian Removal. So I am searching all sorts of area's with my Amos Young Amerson who was raised a Amerson but from a Walker line. Back to the Hallmarks there are Many in Blount Co. I have Hallmark Books also But not much proof of some. When I was a child I loved the radio program I LOVE A MYSTERY and I still do. In my Research I have come across the Ingram line. In the Blount County book ther is a Clinton Ingram, Council Ellis Ingram, Edwin Ingram, and Telitha Ann Fowler Ingram and there stories for each.
