Hi Listers, I have been lurking for some time, and may have posted a query some time ago, but this is the first time I've posted a specific request. With the number of Societies that offer memberships, I'm having a hard time choosing a couple that will give me the most 'bang for my buck.' I would appreciate recommendations for Alabama in general, Jefferson County, and Birmingham specifically. (I have decided to join the Birmingham Genealogical Society, but more suggestions will be appreciated.) I thank everyone in advance. Sue in Quincy, MA
