I enjoy, very much, opening my mail and getting information from so many. The other day I mailed you back and asked for help finding my Stewart relatives from Blossberg, AL. They are buried in a cemetery there close to a church (?) with a stream either below or to the side of the cemetery. My memories are of going to the cemetery as a child, helping clean up the grave sites, and my brother falling in the stream. But I do not remember where Blossberg is. My grandparents names (?) and Elizabeth Stewart. Where is Blossberg?
