There is a link on rootsweb's "USGenWeb Archives Project - Alabama - Jefferson County" website for photos submitted by volunteers at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/jefferson/pictures.htm There are only two photos there now [the link for one of the photos is not working, one has to copy and paste the URL to see it.]. [Some other counties have many more photos in their archives.] I have some photos I think I will post. Instructions for posting photos are at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/photos.html There are a lot of cemetery and tombstone photos in the "Tombstone Photos" section [which is the same site as "Cemetery Records"] at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/jefferson/cemetery.htm [I am not sure why, but there is also a link to a different "Cemeteries of Jefferson Co., AL" on the "USGenWeb Jefferson County Alabama" site. [note: different from "USGenWeb Archives Project"] The link for the Archives Project is on the USGenWeb site. ---------------------------------------- The home page for USGenWeb Archives for Alabama is at http://rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/alfiles.htm On this page there is a clickable county chart. The USGenWeb Archives site specifically for Jefferson Co., AL is at http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/al/jefferson.htm The link on the Jefferson Co page for posting to the archives is almost hidden in the sentence: <<<If you have Alabama files you'd like to contribute to the Archives site, Click here to transcribe and send in your records or photos>>>> The link is the word "here" after "Click." ---------------------------------------- For those interested, the URL for the ALGenWeb home page is http://www.rootsweb.com/~algenweb/ There are county links listed there. There is also a search box for the site on this page. ALGenWeb for Jefferson Co., AL is at http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ealjeffer/ This page has a lot of links to various types of information. ------------------------------------------- URL for USGenWeb [with links to all states] is http://www.usgenweb.org/ The sites for the states and counties vary as to the amount and type of information posted on them. All of the sites are free-access. A search box is on a page reached by the link "Project Archives" on the right side of this page. It takes one to http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/newsearch.htm Information about a lot of different "projects" of USGenWeb" is at http://www.usgenweb.org/projects/index.shtml ---------------------------------------- One final URL - The URL for the site map for the "USGenWeb Project" is at http://www.usgenweb.org/sitemap.shtml It is full of links for all kinds of information!!

Another site with photos of Birmingham is at http://www.bham.net/pictures/index.htm I just found it and haven't explored it yet, but it looks interesting. There is a note about contributing pictures to the site on the home page. Melba Clark ----- Original Message ----- is there a site where we can post our own photos?

One last email about phtotos of Birmingham for now - A long list of sites for Birmingham photos can be gotten by using photos Birmingham Alabama for a Google search. [If you don't add Alabama, you will get a lot of photos from Birmingham, England] Melba Clark ----- Original Message ----- is there a site where we can post our own photos?
